Winners and Losers of the College Football New Year's Day Bowl Games

Welcome to 2022, college football fans; if the first day is any indication, buckle up because it's going to be a fun year.

Saturday's bowl games gave us every reason in the world for College Football Playoff expansion. A day after Alabama and Georgia won snore-fests, the New Year's Day games were quite simply amazing.

Notre Dame and Oklahoma State gave us a thrilling Fiesta Bowl that saw the Cowboys come all the way back for a huge win. Kentucky blew a 10-point lead and then rode a fourth-quarter drive and Wan'Dale Robinson's heroics to win the Citrus Bowl, and Arkansas dominated Penn State in the second half to win the Outback Bowl.
