College Football Bowl Games 2023 TV Schedule
It’s that time of year again, and we’re not talking about Christmas.
It’s college football bowl season, featuring more mediocre teams, silly sponsor names and unappealing locales than ever before!
Action kicks off Saturday, December 16, with seven games, highlighted by the Starco Brands LA Bowl Hosted by Gronk. Not only is Rob Gronkowski hosting this game, but also he’s going to sing the national anthem. So there’s that.
Only two bowl games have significance in the national championship picture. On New Year’s Day, the College Football Playoff semifinal games have the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl and the No. 3 Texas Longhorns vs. the No. 2 Washington Huskies in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
It’s the final season for the four-team College Football Playoff, as the NCAA expands the postseason tournament to 12 teams beginning next year.
