Not much changed in the bowl picture during championship week. The playoff picture is exactly the same as it was and Penn State, who we had predicted to beat Wisconsin, will likely head to the Rose Bowl. Even Sun Belt teams South Alabama and Louisiana won to earn a spot in the bowl. North Texas and Mississippi State are the only two 5-7 teams in the bowl picture and will get the first opportunity to jump into a bowl game with those two open spots.
