Saturday Blitz provides you with the 10 most watchable bowl games.

The regular season has come and gone and bowl season is finally here. It was an exciting season filled with great plays and great games. The first bowl games are scheduled for Dec. 17 and they will go all the way until the championship game on Jan. 9.

Of the 40 bowl games that are played, the College Football Playoff will be most highly anticipated of those games, but there are some other great games besides the College Football Playoff. With that comes knowing what bowl games will be more entertaining to watch than the others. Just how good are the new years six games this year? Are there some bowl games that may be better?

With that, here are the 10 bowl games that you will not want to miss during this year’s bowl season.

Honorable Mentions

Here are a few honorable mentions are some games that will entertain but didn’t quite make the top 10.

  • Russell Athletic Bowl (Dec. 28): Miami vs. No. 16 West Virginia  

West Virginia’s only losses on the year were to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Those two teams played for the Big 12 Championship. Miami finished the year on a four-game win streak and held teams to around 18 points a game on average.

  • Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl (Dec. 30): No. 21 Tennessee vs. Nebraska

Nebraska could secure its first 10-win season since 2012 with a win over Tennessee. The attraction here is the QB matchup of Joshua Dobbs and Tommy Armstrong Jr. The game will most likely come down to their play.

  • Boca Raton Bowl (Dec. 20): Memphis vs. Western Kentucky

It’s not the sexiest of all the bowl games, but this game screams offense. Each averages 40 points or more per game. Western Kentucky ended the year on a seven-game win streak to get to 10 wins, including putting up 58 points in the conference USA championship game.
