2022 College Football Bowl Season - Saturday (12/17) games

Good morning New York Giants fans, happy Saturday and welcome to Bowl Season!

Yes, the regular season may still be going on in the NFL, but we’re officially in the post-season for college ball. We have 43 games featuring some of the best teams in the country facing off. We’ll also get to see some teams who have flown under the radar this year, but have qualified for bowl games — and those teams often have gems who leap off the field.

Of course, not all of the top draft prospects (such as Florida’s Anthony Richardson) will be on the field. Opting out of bowl games has become increasingly popular as NFL prospects seek to prepare for the draft process, as well as limit their potential for injury. While that can be frustrating from a scouting perspective, it also creates the opportunity for players who might have been buried on the depth chart to shine.

We already had the first two bowl games of the year, with Miami (OH) taking on UAB in the Home Town Lenders Bahamas Bowl, and (25) UTSA taking on (24) Troy in the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl.

Troy topped UTSA, 18-12, while UAB beat Miami (OH)24-20.
