By Carly Regehr
ESPN will satisfy each college football fans fix with a dosage of 35 postseason games, which start Dec. 16.
One thing ESPN has done very well is engineering its schedule around college football. And this season, ESPN is presenting a buffet of bowl games across its own channel, in addition to its parent company’s platform, ABC.
As the regular season winds down and players catch up on rest, ESPN will be busy working around the clock considering the slate of games it’s hosting for the 2017-18 college football postseason. As always, eyes will be on the Power 5 teams to see which teams will earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Mark your calendars now because ESPN has released the bowl game schedule you can see below.
