Bowl projections for 2015-16 postseason
The Football Bowl Association released the schedule for the 2015-16 postseason, making it a perfect time to do the impossible and pick which teams will be playing in the record 40 bowl games set to take place between Dec. 19 and Jan. 2.
Plenty of wishful thinking involved - Texas vs. Texas A&M! - and picks all are subject to change before the season starts.
