With the 2016 college football bowl season set to get underway, the FanSided staff make their predictions

The 2016 college football season has come to a close, meaning that it’s time for one of the best stretch of sports during the entire year — bowl season.

Of course, all eyes are on the College Football Playoff, which will be taking place on New Year’s Eve once again this season. On that day, the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the No. 4 Washington Huskies in the Peach Bowl, while the No. 2 Clemson Tigers will take on the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl. The winners of those games will take on one another Jan. 9 in Tampa for the national championship.

But, as we know, that’s not nearly all bowl season has to offer. No, there are a plethora of games coming up this holiday season as always, and it’s time for the FanSided staff to make their picks, as we have throughout the season.

As a refresher, here’s a look at the staff who have made their picks all season long:
