From the Camellia Bowl through the College Football Playoff National Championship. A quick look at the second half of bowl season.

You may think the best bowl games usually happen after Christmas. And you'd (mostly) be right! But when I went through the pre-Christmas schedule, I was really impressed at all the great competition we'll see. And luckily, there's no overlap.
