Bowl season: It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And after an amended postseason in 2020, college football is back with a full slate of games across three weeks that will surely have a little something for everyone. The action got started Friday and continues all the way through the College Football Playoff National Championship in the second week of January.
The first weekend brought some great finishes, record-setting performances and a nice taste of what lies ahead. Next up is a steady stream of games leading up to Christmas, starting with Monday’s Myrtle Beach Bowl between Old Dominion and Tulsa. Tuesday brings two more contests, and the action continues each day, right through the holiday, as Georgia State and Ball State will square off in the Camellia Bowl on Christmas Day.
