Bowl season starts on Saturday in Atlanta with N.C. Central vs. Grambling State in the Celebration Bowl. There are 40 FBS games before the College Football Playoff championship game on Jan. 9 in Tampa, Fla.
The bowls from from A to Z:
A: Alabama. Or it could mean “All but over.” The Crimson Tide (13-0) are prohibitive favorites to win Nick Saban’s fifth title in seven years. This might actually be Saban’s best team in T-town.
B: Big Ten, Big 12, “bad” year for. The champions from both conferences, Penn State and Oklahoma, respectively; were left out of the College Football Playoff.
