College football rivalry week projected scores: Model predicts every FBS game

Arch Manning's Texas team is projected to be a half-point underdog against rival Texas A&M, according to Austin Mock's College Football Projection Model. This model, which considers past performance, returning talent, and recruiting rankings, forecasts outcomes for major college football games. In other key matchups, Ohio State is expected to defeat Michigan by 11.5 points, while Alabama is predicted to win against Auburn by 4 points. These projections are compared to BetMGM lines to provide additional context. The model also attempts to account for variables such as new coaches and player movements through the transfer portal.
