With the bowl schedule out for the 2018 college football season, are there any matchups that each committee missed out on?
The Bowl season is and always has been a beautiful thing. We get to see matchups we wouldn’t always see, we get a full month of college football daily, and we find out who the best team in all the land is in January.
Even though we fully appreciate every matchup and every bowl game and the Twitter pages that blow up the bowl scene (looking at you @BelkBowl), sometimes we are just left wanting more in the postseason and whether it be due to the New Year’s Six qualifications or conference tie-ins we just don’t get the games that we all wanted deep down.
After putting some thought into what I wanted out of this bowl season as well as reaching out to some of my readers on Twitter, I have selected a few bowl matchups that should’ve happened this offseason but the committee couldn’t deliver or chose not to make happen.
I’ve chosen to ignore any College Football Playoff matchups due to the amount of controversy and focused on games that could have realistically happened. There were, realistically, only six teams that could’ve made the playoff this season and there’s no need to explain those because there are better matchups to debate in non-CFP games than those matchups that most college football fans discussed in the past week leading into the final rankings.
With all that being said, here are six bowl games we wish we could’ve had after the 2018 season.
