Bowl Season is Here!
It’s that time of year again—bowl season! In fact, Williams has more bowl games than Sonoma, with a whopping 41 matchups set to take place in the coming weeks. These games vary from the prestigious to the downright quirky, like the “Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl.” And no, it’s not what you might think.
This season offers teams a chance to finish the year on a high note, perhaps even gaining a bit of notoriety. Even those lower-tier bowl games can enhance a school’s reputation and assist in recruiting efforts. While they might seem a bit trivial at first glance, each has its role. Still, let’s be honest—the main event will always be the College Football Playoff, where most of the focus will lie.
Here’s the full schedule along with how to catch this year’s bowl games.
