2021-22 College Football Bowl Games Schedule

Bowl season naysayers will argue that the College Football Playoff has diminished the quality of the other games. That’s up for debate. What isn’t debatable is that the quantity of postseason competition on the college gridiron is at a high point. A mind-numbing 43 bowl games (including the CFP National Championship) are on the schedule – and 44 if you count one FCS contest.
