Bowl season is a time for teams to gather around the football field for a few more weeks, prepare for the future with extra practices and to indulge fans with one final college football game.
Oh, and it’s also the season for bowl swag -- from watches to shopping trips to clothing.
One nice bonus to making the postseason is that every bowl participant (up to 125 people) will receive as much as $550 worth of gifts from each game. Some gifts probably could be eliminated without much fuss from players (socks from the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl), while other bowl gifts have the potential to perk up any Scrooge (Xbox One from the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman).
