If you’re a college football fan as I am, then you know that the second season is nearly upon us. I am referring to the Bowl Season, of course. Yesterday (Sunday) nearly the entire lineup for this season was presented to us. I say “nearly the entire lineup” because there is still some doubt as to who Temple will be playing in the EagleBank Bowl on December 29th. Should Army pull off a minor miracle and defeat Navy on Saturday, they will be the foe. If they do not, then it will be UCLA.
In any event, I present the matchups as they now stand including the network airing the game and the start time. There are 34 games in all starting December 19th and ending with the BCS Title Game on January 7th. Plan your holiday festivities accordingly
