The 2022 College Bowl Season is a month all football fans look forward to, even those whose team is not playing. This year it gets underway on the 16th of December 16 in the Bahamas with the aptly named Bahamas Bowl and it will conclude on the 9th of January 2023 when the National Champions will be crowned.
In between, we have 43 games to look forward to spreading over the majority of the USA although a few stadiums will host more than one. At the time of writing the matchups are not finalised. That will be decided on Selection Sunday, scheduled for Dec. 4, 2022.
