In running through the list of significant contributors to last

year’s Super Bowl title for the New England Patriots Stitched Damontae Kazee Jersey , running back Kenjon Barner won’t rank anywhere near the top.Barner appeared in just five games for the Patriots last season and ultimately finished the year with the Carolina Panthers. The Patriots cut Barner on three separate occasions before he landed with the Panthers to finish out the season. However, the Patriots honored his contributions to the team with a Super Bowl ring even though his time with the franchise was short-lived.It was a reward Barner had not been expecting.“Just want to send out a huge thank you to everyone at the @patriots organization again for the opportunity that was given!” Barner wrote in an instagram post. “Wasn’t expecting this when I got the call and still wasn’t expecting it when the ring was In My hands! Thank you Thank you Thank you, God is good! #Back2Back #2X”Barner saw himself signed and released a total of three separate times over the first two months of the season. He got 19 rushing attempts and gained 71 yards during his five games with the Patriots.It was Barner’s second straight Super Bowl ring as he was a part of the Philadelphia Eagles team that won Super Bowl LII over the Patriots the year before.Barner also posted a video giving his new Super Bowl ring as a gift to his father.Barner signed with the Atlanta Falcons on a one-year deal in March. This college football season has had a whole lot of weirdness, but very little at the top. Alabama and Clemson have separated themselves from the pack, Michigan might be doing the same, and undefeated Notre Dame has beaten Michigan.Under that, it’s a swirling vortex, but it’d be nice if the two worlds actually touched.Each week Youth Damontae Kazee Jersey , I update a board of projected winners for every FBS game, tally up records, and guess what the Playoff committee and bowl committees would do with the results. Things get closer and closer to eventual accuracy as Selection Sunday nears, but more importantly, it’s some weekly fun!Below, projections for all 40 2018 bowl games. A lot of these will change dramatically over the next month, so if you don’t like where your team is listed, I bet a few wins on the field will change things!First Stitched Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , the College Football PlayoffCotton (Arlington, TX): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 MichiganOrange (Miami): No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Notre DameChampionship (Santa Clara, CA): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 2 ClemsonSo yeah. Chalk. This would mean picking the Playoff rankings to remain exactly the same for about a month straight. That’s not exactly likely, but each individual way this could all go awry.I suppose Georgia could beat Bama, giving us instant drama as to which of these five misses the cut. Maybe Notre Dame could lose to Syracuse, which would probably add FRESH NEW NAME ... Oklahoma. Michigan could certainly lose to Ohio State, which should give us a WILD AND WACKY Playoff final four that includes FUN UPSTART ... Ohio State.Maybe multiple of these things happen as Washington State wins out, and then we actually get something weird.Buuuuut it sure looks like a season in which the ruling class towers over a lot of chaos and carnage.(Also Youth Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , I’m giving up on my resoundingly booed idea that Michigan could jump Notre Dame on Selection Sunday. Mediocre Northwestern being all Michigan could show for its 12th win would seem to moot all that.)Next: the rest of the New Year’s SixSugar (New Orleans): Oklahoma vs. GeorgiaRose (Pasadena, CA): Ohio State vs. Washington StatePeach (Atlanta): Florida vs. UCFFiesta (Glendale, AZ): LSU vs. West VirginiaThe Sugar and Rose have held steady for a month or more (some day, the Rose Bowl social media accounts will include my projections in their roundups, I just know it), while Kentucky’s fall from the NY6 opens up a spot for, uh, Florida Stitched Austin Hooper Jersey , I guess? Syracuse? Mississippi State? Kentucky itself, which beat Florida? Texas? This is a deeply bizarre, messy season, and it’s kind of a shame the Playoff might not reflect that at all.And now, everything elseCitrus (Orlando): Penn State vs. KentuckyOutback (Tampa): Michigan State vs. MissouriGator (Jacksonville): Northwestern vs. South CarolinaHoliday (San Diego): Iowa vs. WashingtonLiberty (Memphis): Baylor vs. AuburnMilitary (Annapolis, MD): Cincinnati vs. Georgia TechSun (El Paso): Virginia vs. OregonBelk (Charlotte): NC State vs. TennesseeAlamo (San Antonio): Texas vs. UtahArizona (Tucson): San Diego State vs. ULMCamping World (Orlando): Syracuse vs. Texas TechMusic City (Nashville): Boston College vs. Texas A&MTexas (Houston): Iowa State vs. Mississippi StatePinstripe (New York City): Pitt vs. PurdueIndependence (Shreveport, LA): Duke vs. Stanford*Cheez-It (Phoenix): Oklahoma State vs. CalQuick Lane (Detroit): BYU* vs. WMU*SERVPRO (Dallas): Minnesota vs. North TexasRedbox (Santa Clara, CA): Wisconsin vs. Arizona StateHawaii: FAU vs. HawaiiDollar General (Mobile): Buffalo vs. Georgia SouthernArmed Forces (Fort Worth): SMU vs. Army*Birmingham: Houston vs. UABPotato (Boise): Toledo vs. Boise StateBahamas: FIU vs. NIUGasparilla (Tampa): USF vs. Wake ForestFrisco (TX): Tulane vs. OhioBoca Raton: Temple vs. MTSUNew Orleans: Louisiana Tech vs. TroyCamellia (Montgomery Youth Austin Hooper Jersey , AL): EMU vs. Appalachian StateLas Vegas: Fresno State vs. USCCure (Orlando): Memphis vs. Arkansas StateNew Mexico (Albuquerque): Marshall vs. Utah State* = Taking another conference’s unfilled bid. One thing: because of all the rampant mediocrity this year, I do not have enough spots here for all the likely bowl-eligible teams. I don’t have room for Nevada and UL Lafayette, I’m being hard on Miami to free up space, and I’m assuming Virginia Tech doesn’t schedule an emergency eligibility-saving game (though VT will surely want to protect the country’s second-longest bowl streak).As always, remember bowl bids are not strictly based on merit. A few conferences have rules that prevent bowls from taking teams with clearly lesser records over more deserving teams, but bowls mostly care about butts in seats. If you beat a bigger program that’s closer to a bowl both of you want, you’re not guaranteed to get it.
