After a limited postseason last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic and shortened schedules, bowl season is back in a big way with 43 games on tap, including the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 10.
Most eyes will be on the national semifinals, this year taking place at the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Eve. After several repeat entrants in recent seasons, with Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma filling a large portion of playoff spots, there is some refreshing new blood in this year’s championship field.
There is also a long list of interesting matchups, including top programs competing in New Year’s Six bowls, smaller teams trying to prove they belong and elite talents trying to showcase their ability on the national stage.
