College Football Bowl Schedule 2016-17: Game Times, Matchups, & TV Broadcast Details

This year, the College Football Playoff has its usual share of blue-blood programs represented, but a surprise team has made it into the top four at the end of the season. Perennial powers like Alabama and Ohio State are in once again, and Clemson has found themselves playing in the semis for a second straight year - each of those three teams has made the Playoff at least twice in its three years of existence.

However, crashing the party are the Washington Huskies, who came out of nowhere to win the Pac-12 and earn the fourth spot.

Those four teams will play in this year’s semifinal games - the Peach Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl - to determine which two advance to the National Championship Game nine days later in Tampa.

However, there are many more college games to watch throughout the remainder of Bowl Season. Are there too many bowl games? Probably, yeah. But it makes for a great few weeks around the holiday season.

Here is your complete FBS Bowl game schedule for the entire 2016-2017 season, and feel free to use this as your open discussion forum for any and every college game on between now and the new year.
