Orphaned references in 2022–23 NCAA football bowl games

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2022–23 NCAA football bowl games's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "FBSchedules":

From 2015–16 NCAA football bowl games: "2015–16 College Football Bowl Schedule – 2016 Playoff" Archived March 18, 2015, at the Wayback Machine, FBSchedules.com. Retrieved May 6, 2015.
From 2021–22 NCAA football bowl games: "2021 College Football Bowl Schedule". FBSchedules.com. Retrieved May 27, 2021.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:05, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jumping the gun on bowl selections

This is only going to be an issue until later today, when the CFP rankings and the bowl game selections are announced, but... I think some editors are jumping the gun on the bowl game selections. The current version of the article says that Georgia will play in the Peach Bowl and Michigan will play in the Fiesta bowl. Assuming that Georgia's final rank is #1 and Michigan's is #2 -- that won't be announced for a few more hours, but it seems like a safe bet -- the CFP Committee will also announce which team is in which bowl, so it could be the other way around, with Georgia in the Fiesta Bowl and Michigan in the Peach Bowl. So really those should be left blank until announced. Also... I thought I read somewhere that which teams are assigned to which of the two CFP semifinal games is based on geography, so as not to give any of the four teams an obvious "home team" advantage. By that logic Georgia would go to the Fiesta Bowl. But at the moment I can't find a reference for that. — Mudwater^(Talk) 12:59, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to this article in The Athletic, "The committee assigns the No. 1 team the semifinal site it deems the most preferable for that team, and luckily for Georgia, this year it would mean Atlanta rather than the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona." — Mudwater^(Talk) 13:41, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
