The college football postseason is almost upon us, and we are nearly done with the conference championship weekend. Texas Tech, Tulane, and Georgia have already punched their tickets into the College Football Playoff, and Indiana and Ohio State will battle it out for the Big Ten championship title tonight.
While Selection Sunday is still a few hours away, some bowl games have already extended their invitations. We have full matchups for mid-December, and we know some of the teams set to play in late December and even early January.
Let’s take a look at every bowl game that has announced at least one participant this postseason, as we wait for the participants of this year’s CFP.
