McMurphy – LSU Tigers to Cotton, No Bowl For Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns

Brett McMurphy from the Action Network debuted his 2023 Week 0 Bowl Predictions Monday morning.

For the local teams, McMurphy has the LSU Tigers playing Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl on December 29th.  He doesn’t have the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns playing in a postseason bowl game. 

McMurphy’s Final Four is Michigan vs Florida State in one semifinal & a rematch with Georgia going against Ohio State again.  Eventually he has Georgia and Michigan playing for the National Championship.

McMurphy does have 12 of 14 SEC teams playing in a postseason bowl, leaving out just Missouri and Vanderbilt
