The College Football Playoff Semifinals will take place with the Fiesta Bowl and Peach Bowl on Dec. 31, but there will still be several intriguing non-playoff bowl games remaining on the 2022-23 college football bowl schedule. No. 8 Utah will look to build on winning the Pac-12 title when he faces No. 11 Penn State in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2. they win against USC in the conference title game and are 3-point favorites in the latest college football bowl odds on Caesars Sportsbook. This is one of the smaller spreads during the 2022-23 bowl season, so where should you place the Rose Bowl in your college football trust pools?
In fact, three of four games on Jan. 2 are priced -3 or less in the college football bowl lines, making for tricky decisions in college football bowl trust groups.

The best college bowl confidence predictions
A trusted top pick in the 2022-23 college football bowl by model: Ole Miss runs through Texas Tech in the 2022 Texas Bowl on Dec. 28 at 9 p.m. ET. The Rebels have lost four of their last five games over the course of the regular season, but all four of those losses have come against ranked teams at some point this year. They still finished the season with eight wins and have one of the best offenses in college football under head coach Lane Kiffin.
Sophomore quarterback Jaxson Dart rushed for more than 2,600 yards and 18 touchdowns, while freshman running back Quinshon Judkins rushed for 1,476 yards and 16 scores. The model expects Judkins to have another big day against a mediocre Texas Tech defense, as he’s rushing for more than 100 yards and at least one touchdown in recent simulations. Running back Zach Evans and Dart are teaming up for another 120 rushing yards, which is why Ole Miss is outright winning well over 70% of the time.
Another of the bowl’s confidence predictions the model is high on: No. 1 LSU. 17 runs Purdue in the Citrus Bowl on January 2 at 1 PM ET. Caesars Sportsbook opened LSU as a 7-point favorite, but early betting action quickly pushed the line up to -10.5. The Tigers lost a couple of games over the course of this season but also recorded victories over the then No. 7 Ole Miss and then-No. 6 Alabama in consecutive games. They will be motivated to post a strong finish to Brian Kelly’s first year as head coach, while Purdue is in the midst of a coaching change.
Head coach Jeff Brohm left Purdue for Louisville, leaving offensive coordinator Brian Brohm as the interim head coach in this game. Cohesion is one of the biggest factors when handicapping bowl games, and Purdue will lack in that category when it faces LSU. The model sees the Tigers win nearly 70% of the time, making them a top pick during the 2022-23 bowl season.
How to make confident choices in the college football bowl
The model also called who wins every other bowl game. There are 17 teams that win at least 65% of the time, so you need to go big in those matches, as well as multiple underdogs who win outright. You can get all the model picks at SportsLine.
So who wins all the college bowl games? And which pairings should you give the most trust points to?
