College football bowl season is upon us, with a total of 40 games gracing the schedule between Dec. 20 and Jan. 13, when a national champion will be decided.
LSU, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Clemson are still vying for the College Football Playoff title. The other 74 teams will play over a 17-day span, starting with Buffalo and Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl and ending with Louisiana and Miami Ohio in the LendingTree Bowl.
Here’s the full schedule for the 2019-2020 college football bowl season.

Top-ranked LSU had the most impressive resume in the nation, beating four teams ranked in the top 13 of the final College Football Playoff rankings.
The Tigers will take on an Oklahoma team led by former Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts that sputtered a bit in early November but survived the season with just one loss, thanks to an overtime victory over Baylor in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Fiesta Bowl
- Teams: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Clemson
- Date: Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019

Ohio State getting the No. 2 seed matters because it has to face the tougher opponent in the semifinals — the Clemson Tigers. The Buckeyes are actually a small underdog in this game despite having the higher seed.
These two teams last met in the College Football Playoff in 2016, when Clemson blanked the Buckeyes 31-0 en route to a national title win over Alabama.
