The New Orleans bowl features two high-powered offenses and should provide plenty of points by Ben Kercheval @BenKercheval 1m ago • 2 min read The nightcap to the first full day of bowl games has the chance to be the best one of the day. Sun Belt champs Appalachian State may not have coach Scott Satterfield, but it is one of the top teams outside of the Power Five ranks. Middle Tennessee came within a field goal of winning the Conference USA Championship Game, and sees the end of an era at quarterback in Brent Stockstill.Put two fun offenses indoors on a fast track when there are only 60 minutes of regulation football left before the long offseason typically means weirdness ensues. And there is definitely a niche for #FunBelt action in New Orleans. Let's get ready for some fun on the Bayou.

Utah State is without Matt Wells while North Texas still has Seth Littrell by Chip Patterson @Chip_Patterson 1m ago • 3 min read Bowl season kicks off in earnest on Saturday afternoon, and one of the first games could produce a top matchup when Utah State meets up with North Texas in the New Mexico Bowl. Both teams fell short of conference title contention, but each were clearly a cut above the rest of their respective leagues, especially an Aggies team that broke into the top 15 of the AP Top 25 before losing in the regular season finale at Boise State. However, complicating matters for this 10-win Utah State team is the departure of head coach Matt Wells, who accepted the head coaching job at Texas Tech to replace Kliff Kingsbury. The Aggies have tapped co-defensive coordinator Frank Malle as its interim coach for the bowl game, but don't be surprised if Gary Andersen is lurking somewhere around Dreamstyle Stadium on Saturday.

Two Louisiana teams kick off bowl season in Orlando by Ben Kercheval @BenKercheval 55s ago • 2 min read College football's bowl season kicks off on Saturday, Dec. 15, and first up is the Auto Nation Cure Bowl between Louisiana and Tulane on CBS Sports Network. Louisiana, under first-year coach Billy Napier, made it to the Sun Belt Championship Game, where the Ragin' Cajuns fell to Appalachian State. Tulane, meanwhile, is heading to a bowl game for the first time since 2013. For two Group of Five schools based out of Louisiana, this should actually turn into a high intensity game.The two schools also couldn't be more opposite from an offensive perspective, as Napier brings a more pro-style, vertical attack while Willie Fritz employs the triple option offense for the Green Wave. Let's break down this clash in Orlando.Viewing informationEvent: Auto Nation Cure BowlDate: Saturday, Dec. 15 | Time: 1:30 p.m. ETLocation: Camping World Stadium -- … [Read more...] about Louisiana vs. Tulane, Cure Bowl: TV channel, live stream, watch online, prediction, pick, odds, line

How ESPN literally owns much of college football’s postseason
Take a look at the bowl schedule, and what do you notice about broadcasters? Of this year’s 40 games, only three are on CBS networks, and only two are on Fox. All the rest, including the Playoff and National Championship, are on ESPN networks. Let’s go back to the year 2000. We didn’t know it then, but that would be the last year before the postseason slate began to shift toward where it is today. It had nothing to do with the BCS games and everything to do with all the other games. That year, there were 25 bowl games. That was up from the number that had held steady between 16 to 19 through most of the 1980s and ‘90s, but it would soon increase at a high rate. A new player was soon to enter the postseason game, and it’s a big reason why there are now 40 FBS bowl games, counting the Playoff National Championship. Welcome ESPN Events to the postseason stage. What is ESPN Events? Maybe you remember ESPN Plus? That was ESPN Events’ first iteration. … [Read more...] about How ESPN literally owns much of college football’s postseason
