With the 2018 college football bowl season officially upon us, take a look at where every team is headed this postseason.
It’s bowl season, ladies and gentlemen. The College Football Playoff field has been announced as Oklahoma made the final spot, knocking Georgia out and keeping Ohio State at No. 6.
With Alabama facing Oklahoma and Clemson and Notre Dame facing off in the first round, there’s sure to be some excitement and potentially a rematch from two years ago if the Tigers and Crimson Tide can make it back to the national title.
Sunday is a big day, not just because the final College Football Playoff rankings have been announced and we know who will be playing for a national title this season, but also because the bowl games are being announced. For those bowl-eligible teams who didn’t make the top-four, there’s plenty of waiting and anticipating on Sunday afternoon.
Will your favorite team be playing on New Year’s Day? Will you be able to make a trip to a warm climate to see your team face another top-tier program? Will you be disappointed and have to see your team in a colder climate against a lesser team?
