A bevy of bowls.
Scattered on your television dial this weekend, the college football bowl season continues its sprint toward the finish line with five games today through Monday.
But throw out tradition. The Cotton, Liberty and Sugar play today. New Year’s Day is no longer the pinnacle of bowl season. The Fiesta Bowl goes Monday in prime time. Saturday features the oddball International Bowl in Toronto.
After Tuesday’s GMAC Bowl, the season concludes with Thursday’s BCS title game between Oklahoma and Florida, which will play more than a month after the Sooners’ last game.
Today’s games: Ole Miss vs. Texas Tech in the Cotton (noon, KDVR-31); Kentucky vs. East Carolina in the Liberty (3 p.m., ESPN); and Utah vs. Alabama in the Sugar (6 p.m., KDVR-31).
Saturday’s International pits Buffalo vs. UConn (10 a.m., ESPN2). And Monday’s Fiesta has Ohio State going against Texas (6 p.m., Fox).
