The Sun Belt is having a banner season with 10 teams projected to be bowl eligible. 13, they have beaten four sub-.500 teams by a total of 14 points. The Green Wave have been struggling of late but still winning. The leader for the Group of Five representative to the New Year's Six is Tulane, which was No. Maybe the Wolverines' nonconference schedule was not quite as horrible as we originally thought. UNLV is tied with the Falcons with one conference loss.

Now, every team in the league has at least two losses overall after Air Force fell at Hawaii and Fresno State lost at San Jose State.

For a while, it looked like the league would put a team in a New Year's Six game for the first time since Boise State played in the Fiesta Bowl in 2014, the first season of the CFP. The Mountain West race has turned into a bit of a mess. Mizzou is now projected to Citrus Bowl, while Tennessee is slotted for the Gator Bowl. In the SEC, Missouri and Tennessee traded places in the bowl projections after the Tigers' 36-7 win over the Volunteers. They must have had quite the Bedlam hangover. The Cowboys' 45-3 loss at UCF was particularly egregious. Upset losses by Kansas and Oklahoma State on Saturday have pushed Oklahoma back into the Alamo Bowl in this week's projection. The Big 12 has been the most chaotic league this season - except for current leader Texas.

Upsets are bound to happen when some of these better teams and fierce rivals finally play each other. As such, we should brace for a chaotic last couple of weeks. Even the New Year's Six bowls rarely shift. I have not changed the projection for the College Football Playoff in several weeks. This continues to be one of the most stable seasons when it comes to the bowl projections.
