The college football season will finally get underway this weekend. Five games are set to air on Saturday, highlighted by a B1G showdown between Nebraska and Illinois.

Before the start of the year, college football experts are getting their final projections in for the postseason. Action Network’s Brett McMurphy was the latest to so, releasing his bowl projections for the end of the 2021 season.

McMurphy has a lot of faith in a lot of B1G programs this year. He’s projecting 10 teams from the conference play in a bowl game. Ohio State is projected to land in the College Football Playoff for a third-straight year while Wisconsin is the only other B1G team predicted to reach a New Year’s Six bowl game.
