2017-2018 College Football Bowl Games

That time of year is upon us again. Tomorrow morning, will see the first set of Bowl games. Here is a list of all the games in the order they are said to occur. The teams highlighted in bold are not necessarily predictions, but who I will root for to win. Even with those distinctions, I just hope the games are entertaining (especially if I am able to watch them). I do not have strong rooting interest in most of the games, but at least, my alma mater is back in the picture after a year off. They will be spending their Xmas in The Motor City. As always, the rankings will not be that of the College Football Playoff Committee but of the Associated Press.
