Since there will be more games this year because the College Football Playoff has grown, bowl season should be more fun than ever.
At least that is what we think will happen: there should be more teams qualified than bowl spots. There will be a few squished matchups to make room for the extra Power Four programs.
We think these bowls will win in Week 9.
