2007-2008 Bowl Projections: Third Time's the Charm

With the Big Ten being done with play and more and more teams getting closer (or further away) from bowl eligibility, I was able to make some better guesses this week. But they still are guesses. There are a lot of games this week (Hawaii/Boise State) that will clear up the picture even more. Navy is the only team that has accepted a Bowl Bid so far. One note, these projections are based on the standings now and how I think they will play out throughout the rest of the season. They are not solely based on the standings right now. I also tried to no pick teams with only 5 wins, but if I thought they had a good chance of getting to 6, I included them.
