Understanding College Bowls Schedule
The release of college football bowl schedules is always an anticipated event for fans and bettors who bet on college football bowl games alike. The calendar comprises 44 games spread out over a period of three weeks in the months of December and January.
Bowl Selection Process:
The bowl selection process begins after the regular college football season ends. Bowl committees, conferences, and other stakeholders collaborate to determine which teams will participate in each bowl game.
Several factors come into play, including NCAAF team records, rankings, conference tie-ins, and contractual agreements between bowls and conferences.
Bowl Invitations:
Once the bowl matchups are set, teams receive formal invitations to participate in specific bowl games. Invitations are typically extended to eligible teams based on their performance during the season.
Bowl committees consider various factors, such as team popularity, geographic location, and potential ticket sales, in making their selections.
Bowl Game Schedule:
The college bowl schedule spans several weeks in December and January. The schedule includes various bowl games of different prestige levels. Higher-tier bowls, often referred to as New Year’s Six bowls, feature more prominent teams and have affiliations with specific conferences.
The schedule culminates in the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship game, which determines the national champion.
Bowl Game Locations and TV Broadcasts:
Bowl games are held in stadiums across the country, and each game has a designated television broadcast partner.
The locations and kickoff times of the college bowl games are determined based on logistical considerations and television network agreements. Fans can follow the schedule and watch the NCAAF matchups on the respective networks broadcasting the bowls.
Bowl Game Matchups:
Bowl game matchups are determined by the selection committees, considering factors such as team rankings, conference affiliations, and competitive balance.
The goal is to create intriguing matchups that will attract viewership and generate excitement. The selection committees strive to ensure competitive and compelling games between teams of similar caliber.
The college bowl season concludes with the College Football Playoff National Championship game. This game features the top two teams in the CFP rankings, who compete for the national title. The championship game is the culmination of the bowl season and is highly anticipated by fans and the college football community.

CFB History & Records
College Football Bowl games are a number of postseason college football games that are played by teams from the NCAA division I football bowl subdivision. The term “bowl game” is generally used in the U.S. to refer to any one of these events.
The very first bowl game, the Rose Bowl, took place on January 1, 1902, as a way to fund the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. Initially, bowl games were the purview of only the very best teams. However, over the decades, the number of bowl games has steadily increased, requiring the inclusion of more teams. As a result, the NCAA has incrementally relaxed the criteria for bowl eligibility.
Bowls Names & Sponsors
The list of bowl games is diverse, with some having deep-rooted histories and others being relatively recent additions to the football landscape. For instance, the Citrus Bowl, previously known as the Tangerine Bowl, started on January 1, 1947, while the College Football Championship only started on January 12, 2015.
Over time, several of these bowl games have seen name changes, often due to changes in sponsorship. For example, the Cheez-It Bowl has had several previous names, including the Camping World Bowl, the Russell Athletic Bowl, and the Blockbuster Bowl, among others.
Selection of NCAA Teams
Since the early 2010s, bowl eligibility has been expanded to include teams with non-winning and even outright losing records. This decision was influenced by the rapid proliferation of new bowl games.
College football teams with a non-winning record (6–6) were allowed starting in 2010, and those with outright losing records (5–7) were invited from 2012, with the team with the best Academic Progress Rate score among the 5-7 record teams being chosen first. This expansion allowed a greater variety of teams to participate in the post-season spectacle, increasing the drama and unpredictability of the games.
College Football Bowl Scores & Past Results
College football, especially NCAA, has always been popular in the U.S., both in terms of betting and of fandom. It is the best platform in the country for athletes and coaches to showcase their skills and talent to the top tier of football and get in the eyes of NFL personnel.Â
