Now here’s where the bowl week gets fun. The first set of bowl games obviously brings all the throwaway mid-major games and also, this year, included at least one intriguing match-up between Utah and Colorado State.

But bowl games after Christmas up to New Year’s that are not part of the New Year’s Six are a wide variety. They include mid-majors, bottom of the barrel Power Five teams, and elite teams in the Power Five. And all of the match-ups are intriguing in the weirdest week of the year.

As we get set to bring you Part II of our college football bowl predictions, which go from Christmas to New Year’s this time without including any of the New Year’s Six games, there are lots of what appear to be even match-ups, particularly among the low-level teams in the elite conference.
