2007-08 Extremely Premature Bowl Projections

It is nearing Week 8 of the college football season, so most teams have played 7 or 8 games. Although early, it is that time of the year where we look ahead to the Bowl Season and the potential match-ups that can occur. I took my rough, first shot at predicting the games for this bowl season. 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.
