It is with great disgust I must report that a sliver of the college football community still believes there are too many bowl games.
I require but one counterpoint: Frank Gore Jr. exists.
The earliest wave of the 2022 bowl season featured a record-setting performance from football royalty. The son of the former Miami Hurricanes back and NFL star topped the 300-yard rushing mark in the LendingTree Bowl, propelling his Southern Miss squad to a season-ending win.
Gore's outburst highlighted the 12 matchups from Dec. 16-21, a six-day stretch that B/R's Weekly Awards is proud to recap.
