Holiday sports TV guide: Trojan football, bowl games, World Cup, USC basketball, NFL

There are two huge sports weekends coming up in the next month, with #USC being part of them. We’ll help you plan your schedule.

The holidays are a time for celebrating and feasting, for taking some time to enjoy life at the end of a difficult year in a generally difficult time. Christmas and New Year’s Day are painful times for some, but if at all possible, it’s good to get away from the grind and recharge before the new year. The week between Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 is the one week of the year when the days of the week blur together. Wednesday doesn’t feel like Wednesday, Monday doesn’t feel like Monday. It’s holiday time and a chance to hopefully take a break.

There’s lots of sports on TV this December, with the World Cup adding an ingredient to the mix. Christmas Day is a Sunday, which means the NFL plays most of its games on Saturday, Dec. 24, this year. There’s also a plot twist involving the big bowl games on Jan. 2. (The big bowls are that day because Jan. 1 is an NFL Sunday.)

USC Athletics is part of this feast of sports on TV. Let’s help you plan your schedule so that you can do other holiday activities in certain time slots:

2022-2023 college football bowl game watchability rankings

There are always a few bowl games you simply can’t miss. There are a few bowls you simply shouldn’t bother watching. We rank them all here:

It is one of the more fun articles any college football blogger gets to write every year: the watchability rankings for all the bowl games.

There are always some “dogs with fleas” matchups, and there are always some “ooooooh, I can’t wait to watch that one” matchups. There are other matchups which fit in between, the kinds of games where one says, “It’s not great, it’s not terrible, but it’s a bowl game, and it’s college football.

Let’s look at the bowl schedule and the 2022 bowl games through the prism of which games are most — and least — watchable. The bad bowls will be dealt with in a bundle, precisely because they’re not worth discussing in greater depth:

2022-2023 bowl schedule, part two: December 28 – January 2

Friday, Dec. 30 through Monday, Jan. 2 — it’s a 4-day New Year’s weekend. We have the info for the bowls that weekend … and much more. #RoseBowl #CottonBowl

There are 42 bowl games in the college football postseason. If you’re planning on attending or watching a bowl, there are really two segments of bowl games: pre-Christmas and New Year’s. The New Year’s bowls can be considered part of the long New Year’s weekend, which runs from Friday, Dec. 30 through Monday, Jan. 2. New Year’s Day is on a Sunday, which means there will be no bowls that day. January 1 will be an NFL Sunday this year.

Here are the 20 bowls on the back end of the 42-game bowl schedule, running from Wednesday, Dec. 28 through Monday, Jan. 2. Then comes the national championship game on Monday, Jan. 9 in Los Angeles:

2022-2023 bowl schedule, part one: December 16-27

There are 42 bowls. That’s a lot, so we’re giving you two parts. Part one has 22 of the 42 bowls. Most are before Christmas, including the Fenway (Park) Bowl.

There are 42 bowl games on this season’s schedule. We don’t count the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, because that is the second game the competing teams will play in. It is a tournament game rather than a bowl. It is played nine days after a bowl game. Some are counting that as a 43rd bowl, but we’re not.

Taking in 42 games is a lot, so we’re going to cut the bowl schedule roughly in half. The first 22 bowls are played mostly before Christmas Day, plus one game on Dec. 26 and four on Dec. 27. We have the dates, times, TV networks, and matchups.

Check out the schedule below, starting on Friday, Dec. 16 with an afternoon doubleheader, then a seven-game slate on Saturday, Dec. 17:

Complete 2021-2022 Big Ten bowl schedule

Here’s where all the Big Ten teams are going bowling this holiday season, complete with venues, matchups, and game times.

After speculating and predicting, then tearing it all up and doing the same week after week, we finally know where every Big Ten team will go bowling, Ohio State included.

All told there are nine teams from the conference that made it into the postseason. Three of those teams are in a New Year’s Six bowl game, with one of those making the College Football Playoff (Michigan). It was a fantastic year again in the heartland, and now we get to sit back and begin watching bowl games.

It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. And don’t come at me with there being too many bowl games. How can you argue with more American football coming to you on your television set or streaming device near you?

For the Big Ten, the first matchup occurs on December 28 with the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, and the last one begins on January 1 with Ohio State in the “Granddaddy of them all.” The games for the conference will go as far as Michigan’s plight takes it in the CFP.

Here’s the complete Big Ten bowl schedule for 2021-2022. Get ready for tree trimming, champagne, and football through the holiday season.

New Mexico Bowl: Hawaii vs. Houston live stream, TV channel, start time, odds, prediction

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors will face the Houston Cougars on Christmas Eve in the New Mexico Bowl from Toyota Stadium.

Hawaii is coming off a 38-21 win over UNLV as they look for back to back wins to finish the 2020 season. Meanwhile, Houston is coming off a tough loss to Memphis last time out and will look to bounce back and win their first bowl game since 2015.

Hawaii will have to travel, which could make all the difference on a Christmas Eve game. This will be the only game on all day so here is everything you need to stream the New Mexico Bowl this afternoon.

Hawaii vs. Houston

When: Thursday, December 24
Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
TV Channel: ESPN
Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Prediction: This is a tough one, the spread opened up at Houston (-10.5) and is now down to Houston (-7.5), which means there is money coming in on Hawaii. I’m going to take Hawaii and the points and the under.

Bet: Hawaii +7.5. Under 59.5

2020-2021 College Football Playoff, New Year’s Six Bowl Ties, Affiliations

Of course, everything is up in the air when it comes to college football, any bowl schedules and games, and far more important things overall. For now, hoping all is okay and the season goes off as planned, these are the expected conference bowl tie-ins and affiliations for the 2020-2021 bowl season.

The Power Five conferences are close to set, but the Group of Five conferences are still going to need time to lock in exactly what their official tie-ins will be. Please note that there likely will be several changes over the next several months.

– The top four teams ranked by the College Football Playoff selection committee will be slotted in the semifinals: Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, both on Friday, January 1st, 2021.

– The two winners to play in the College Football Playoff National Championship in Miami, Florida on Monday, January 11th, 2021.

– The highest-ranked conference champion from the American Athletic, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt will automatically get one spot in either the College Football Playoff, GoodYear Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

– The Rose Bowl is a College Football Playoff semifinal, so the Big Ten and Pac-12 tie-ins aren’t a factor this season.

– The Capital One Orange Bowl will be the ACC vs. SEC no matter what. The champion of each league goes here if not in the College Football Playoff.

American Athletic Bowl Ties, Affiliations

Highest-ranked champion from the AAC, C-USA, MAC, MW & Sun Belt will play in a New Year’s Six bowl – Chick-Fil-A Peach, Cotton, Fiesta, Orange.
