Here are the best storylines of the college football bowl season to keep you busy into the New Year.
In the first season of the playoff, the Horned Frogs entered the final weekend ranked No. 3. They then dropped three spots and missed the semifinals despite overwhelmingly beating Iowa State. It would have been understandable if TCU fans were having flashbacks to 2014 and feeling uneasy with the Frogs also at No. 3 before this year’s Big 12 title game and then losing in overtime to Kansas State.
While Georgia aims to become the first team to repeat as national champions since Alabama in 2011-12, other schools are hoping to end significant droughts. Michigan last won a share of the title in 1997, Ohio State captured the playoff in 2014 and TCU finished at No. 1 in 1938.Schools no longer are waiting around when making decisions to fire coaches.
Some other potential high draft picks have announced plans to head to the NFL early, including Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer, Penn State defensive back Joey Porter Jr., Oklahoma offensive lineman Anton Harrison and Oregon defensive back Christian Gonzalez. No. 22 Texas-San Antonio and No. 24 Troy, the respective champions of Conference USA and Sun Belt, will face off in the Cure Bowl.
Perhaps the biggest is Texas A&M, which started the season ranked No. 7 in the preseason coaches poll and finished 5-7. The Aggies played in every postseason from 2009-20 and were set to participate in the Gator Bowl last year before having to opt out due to COVID-19 positive tests. The 12-game bowl run was the longest active streak that ended this year.
Iowa State had been to five bowls in a row, the longest run in school history. West Virginia is staying home after 18 bowls in 20 seasons.
