When are the bowls anounced for college football?

Question

I remember it being around the 15th of december last year

Answer 1

Bowl bids will be officially announced on the 3rd of December (as I recall hearing yesterday) though several teams have already accepted invitations.

Answer 2

its hard to go against Walter Peyton, but the most entertaining player of all time is Barry Sanders. he was the only reason to look forward to thanksgiving, that and dry turkey. even with him being out of the game for 5-6 years now, if he came back he would be better than 85% of the starting rb's in the league. i don't have any stats now, but NFL Films has hours of compeling reasons

Answer 3

Perhaps as early as 12/10

Answer 4

Bowl matchups will be announced on December 3rd.

Answer 5

They are announced after all of the conference championships are played, and the polls are released.

They should be all set in a couple of weeks.

Answer 6

Sometime around then.
