Yes, Deion Sanders, I now believe. After one week, I believe your Colorado Buffaloes will reach six wins and earn a bowl berth.

Check back in a few weeks to see if I’m still a believer in the Buffs’ bowl chances, but for now — sure, why not?

Colorado entering my Week 2 bowl projections off its upset at TCU is one of several changes in my projections from last week. Other new schools in this week’s projections: Houston, Iowa State, Michigan State, Texas State and Washington State.

There’s also a change in my College Football Playoff projections with Washington replacing Ohio State as my No. 4 seed.

Here are my Week 2 projections and each projection includes the projected point spread for each bowl based on Action Network senior writer Collin Wilson’s updated college football betting power ratings.
