SDA: Bowl Season Begins

Bowl season officially begins on December 19 with a slate of bowls with seemingly revolving sponsors. Sure, these don't feature marquee matchups for the most part -- some of the teams don't even have winning records! -- but there are more than few high-flying offenses and we should get plenty of #MACtion and #FunBelt excitement. Some of the most entertaining bowls last season were the Bahamas Bowl, with its high-scoring, last-second comebacks and Hail Marys, and the infamous 2014 Miami Beach Bowl between BYU and Memphis. Hopefully We will avoid any brawling this year. Eight of these bowls between the December 19 and 26 have point spreads lower than a touchdown, so expect some close, exciting contests before the big games of national significance pop up after Christmas.
