One of college football’s greatest traditions is finally upon us once more: bowl season.
Admittedly, between the institution of the College Football Playoff and the proliferation of players opting out to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft, the postseason has lost a bit of luster. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be tons of fantastic football to consume this holiday season.
Bowl season officially began on Friday morning with the Bahamas Bowl matchup between UAB beating Miami (Ohio). Friday also featured one of the only three contests pitting ranked opponents against each other outside of the New Year’s Six in the Cure Bowl between No. 24 Troy beating No. 25 UTSA, the respective champions out of the Sun Belt and Conference USA.
However, things kick into full swing on Saturday with a full slate of games, including a matchup between Power Five opponents. Here’s the television info and broadcasting team for every bowl game.
