Your Complete College Football Bowl Schedule

It truly is “the most wonderful time of the year.”

And as much as we cringe at the corporate sponsorships, laugh at some of the nonsensical match-ups (Connecticut versus Buffalo?), fret over those jeans we won’t be able to fit into a month from now and utterly detest the lack of resolution afforded us by college football’s Bull Championshit Series, there’s still something to be said for mainlining thirty-four games over the space of three glorious weeks.

So fluff those couch pillows, check the batteries in your remote, get your Christmas shopping done (like, now), and make sure your favorite delivery joints are on speed-dial.

It’s time for some bowling!

Below are the dates, times, TV networks and match-ups for each game of the 2008-09 bowl season. Well, with the notable exception of the still non-existent Palmetto Bowl …
