With the completion of this weekend’s conference championship games, bowl season in college football is right around the corner, with the bowl matchups and assignments trickling in on Sunday. The Oklahoma Sooners made the College Football Playoff as the No. 8 seed, and OU will host No. 9 Alabama in Norman on December 19th in the first round of the CFP.
However, there are plenty of playoff games and bowl games set to be played over the next few weeks. Here is a complete list of each playoff game and bowl game and the teams that will be facing off in each of them during Coca-Cola Bowl Season. After bowl-eligible teams Iowa State, Kansas State, and Notre Dame declined to play in a bowl game this year, a few bowls needed to be filled by teams with 5-7 records that were previously not eligible for a bowl, many of which also declined an invite to the postseason. Eventually, enough teams accepted invites to fill the slate.
