College Football Bowls 2015-16: Complete TV schedule
By Jack Crosby
A look at how you can watch all of the college football bowl games that will be brought to us this year.
With the month of December here now, of course that means it’s time for the college football bowl games to get underway. By all accounts, this really is the best time of year if you are a football fan.
This year, things are better than ever, with there being a total of 41 bowl games from December 19 all the way through to January 11, when we will crown a new national champion. Some say that it’s too much, but really, can you ever have too much football on your television screen during the holiday season? (The answer to this is: NO)
On Sunday, after what was yet another exciting regular season, we learned the teams that will be competing in most of these bowl games. In some form or fashion, all of these teams had pretty successful campaigns which earned them the right to play one more game on the year.
Of course, as is the case every season, all of these postseason contests will be available for your viewing pleasure. Here is exactly how you can watch all of them, from beginning to end, live.
