It’s bowl season and there are more bowls than a Williams Sonoma. A total of 41 will be played in the coming weeks, from prestige and legacy games to the “Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl.” Surprisingly, a “Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl” is not a marijuana thing.
This is an opportunity for teams to close out their years with a bit of prestige. Even a low-level bowl game solidifies a school’s reputation, which can help in recruiting. No matter how insignificant they may seem, they all have a purpose. Of course, the real event is the College Football Playoff, and that’s where all eyes will be.
Here’s their full schedule and how to watch the Bowl Games this year.
