Here's my bowl game projections through week 3. The record projections are a hybrid between FPI's projections and TeamRankings projections. I also utilized a weighted ranking system (using FPI, Sagarin, Massey, SP+, FEI, and others) to help with determining playoff seeding and bowl matchups. USC and Notre Dame would've been the first 2 teams not in the playoff.
