Things start to pick up after Christmas with more Power 5 programs getting into the mix of bowl season. This second batch of bowls includes some fun matchups between mid-major powers and bigger programs, as well as some middleweight bouts between teams that just missed the cut in winning their conferences.
Lots of these teams had successful head coaches or assistants who have already been hired away to help some of the bigger programs that won't be featured in the major bowl games still to come. If you want a glimpse at a team that has been coached by someone like Willie Taggart (the new coach at Oregon) or Matt Rhule (new head man at Baylor), this is your chance.
