Let’s go bowling!
With conference championship games in the books and four teams selected to a controversial College Football Playoff, the end of the college football season is here. All that’s left are the annual Army-Navy game, 42 bowl games and the CFP National Championship.
Bowl season gives qualifying teams a chance to end their seasons on a high note. The stakes are even higher for No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Washington, No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Alabama with a national title up for grabs.
This year’s bowl season will go from Saturday, Dec. 16, through New Year’s Day before two teams battle in the CFP National Championship in Houston on Jan. 8.
