Nearly two-thirds of college football's FBS-level teams will play in a bowl over the next month.
New Mexico State is in a bowl game for the first time in 57 years, while Florida State — despite needing to reschedule a game late just to become bowl-eligible at 6-6 — owns the nation's longest bowl streak at 36 consecutive years.
Every game features a story line, and the stakes get bigger as we get closer to New Year's Day.
From Dec. 16 through Jan. 8, a total of 40 games — including the National Championship game — will be played.
