This year's college football bowl season will have an odd progression, with the two Playoff games falling almost in the middle of it instead of a progressive buildup to the ones that matter most. We’re here to provide some order as you decide which ones should be appointment viewing.
This ranking reflects what we think will be the best games on the postseason schedule, based upon the matchups and potentially interesting story lines for each game. There is no ratings system — it’s completely arbitrary — and we acknowledge it could also turn out to be completely wrong with some of the bottom ones turning into instant classics.
