Bowl games from Dec. 26 through Dec. 28

This list kicks off with the day after Christmas Quick Lane Bowl that has become a staple in the city of Detroit. While it’s not the best matchup between the Big Ten and (usually) the MAC, it’s usually a good appetizer for the big boy games closer to New Year’s Day. Don’t sleep on the Alamo Bowl, either, as it could provide some major excitement.
