Your Complete 2021-22 College Football Bowl Game Schedule
The parade of college football postseason games gets rolling on Friday, December 17, and won’t stop until a national champion is crowned on Monday, January 10, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
There are a lot of bowl games, but let’s face it: Only two games really matter in the grand scheme of things. The College Football Playoff Semifinal games are both Friday, December 31, as the Cincinnati Bearcats face Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young (pictured) and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, and the Georgia Bulldogs take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The winners advance to next month’s title game.
Here’s the full lineup of bowl games and where to watch them:
