Bowling Like It's 2018

The college bowl season begins a week from Saturday with five games. There will be 39 of them leading up to New Year's Day.

The "Final Four" will play on December 29th, with the winners facing off for the National Championship on January 7th.

With a few exceptions, ESPN will televise all of them.

The whole idea of bowl games is to reward teams and throw some money at them. As long as everyone is doing well financially, the game is a winner.
