The college football bowl season is moving forward as planned – for the most part, and at least for now.
Bowl Season organizers on Friday announced a 37-game postseason schedule starting Dec. 19 – a partial reduction from the record 43 major college games that been planned before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Six games were not on the schedule released Friday, including two new ones: The Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit and Las Vegas Bowl. Before Friday, four bowl games already had bowed out of the lineup this season because of issues related to the pandemic: The Redbox Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Bahamas Bowl and Holiday Bowl, an annual staple in San Diego since 1978.
