Week 10 2014-15 Bowl Projections

The College Football Playoff selection committee will unveil its initial Top 25 rankings on Tuesday night, giving us a little bit better idea of how the group has seen the 2014 campaign unfold thus far.

As we close the book on Week 9 and look ahead to Week 10 (!!!), let's take a look at how the new College Football Playoff could look in its first season as well as how the rest of the postseason could shake out in my latest bowl projections.

Below is how I slotted all of the teams for each and every bowl game. Yes, all 39 of them.

And, as always, these projections are subject to change — especially because it's still not entirely clear how the College Football Playoff will ultimately come together and it's common for some conferences to not always be able to fill all of their bowl tie-ins.

Key

* Replacement team for a conference that cannot fill its bowl slot.

— If bowl-eligible, Army will play in the Armed Forces Bowl, Navy will play in the Poinsettia Bowl and BYU will play in the Miami Beach Bowl.

Note: One team from the so-called Group of Five (American Athletic, MAC, Mountain West, Conference USA and Sun Belt) will get chosen for either the Cotton, Fiesta or Peach Bowl.
