The beauty of midseason college football bowl projections is the extent to which small movements in the rankings can affect them.

However, bowl projections also have a way of bringing into the cold light teams in the midst of complete collapse. Wait until you see where Oklahoma is in this field after its blowout loss to South Carolina, or USC after its complete meltdown at Maryland.
