It’s Bowl season! That means copious amounts of unabashedly corporate meaningless college football will infest ESPN over the coming weeks under the guise of rewarding programs for their efforts this season and getting to play either weekday afternoons in neutral sites, if not up against NFL games. Some games may even have fans on the stands. Some students and program supporters will try to convince themselves they haven’t moved on to basketball.
It all starts Friday morning at 11:30am ET when Miami of Ohio plays UAB in the Bahamas Bowl.
#25 UTSA and #24 Troy both are 11-2 teams who won their conferences, and for that they will be forced to play in the Cure Bowl in Orlando at 3:30ET on Friday. I guess for some of these teams, it’ll be nicer to be home for the holidays and they can get their Florida recruiting in.
Cincinnati and Louisville begin the slate on Saturday as they get their game in before the NFL starts, are in Boston for the Fenway Bowl at 11am.
The big one for the weekend, has Florida making the trip all the way out to Las Vegas against none other than the Beavs! #14 Oregon State will be the highest ranked team we see this weekend, looking to get their 10th win. 2:30 on ESPN.
ABC will have two games, the LA Bowl with Washington State and Fresno State, and the New Mexico Bowl with SMU and BYU.
After Dark will be the Frisco Bowl between North Texas and Boise State, in case you need something after Bills/Dolphins.
