20. Duke's Mayo Bowl
I mean, who doesn't enjoy watching a head coach get doused with mayonnaise? In addition, Minnesota vs Virginia Tech is also a sneaky good matchup.

1. Cotton Bowl
Whether you get Oregon vs Texas, Ohio State vs Texas, Tennessee vs Texas, or Arizona State vs Oregon, it's hard not to look at any of these matchups and not rank them as the top potential bowl game.

2. Orange Bowl
On the other side of the bracket, you have potential matchups such as Georgia vs Penn State, Notre Dame vs Penn State, or Georgia vs SMU or Boise State. With the stakes high for a spot in the national championship game, count us in.
3. Rose Bowl
It's easy to say that the Oregon Ducks got a rough draw as the top seed. Whether they face off with Tennessee or Ohio State, this one will be circled on our calendar.
4. Sugar Bowl
If the chalk holds, we'll be gifted a matchup of Notre Dame vs Georgia. That's all you can ask for with this new format.
5. Fiesta Bowl
After failing to capture the Heisman trophy, it will be interesting to see how Ashton Jeanty and the Boise State Broncos respond in their quarterfinals matchup against Penn State or SMU.
6. Peach Bowl
It's clear that the Texas Longhorns got a great draw as the fifth seed. If Texas gets by Clemson, they'll face off with Arizona State in the Peach Bowl.
7. Pop Tarts Bowl
There's a ton to like in this matchup with Miami facing off against Iowa State. Even if you don't like the football, how can you look past seeing a massive pop tart getting toasted?
8. ReliaQuest Bowl
The stakes might not be as high as last year in the College Football Playoff, but we'll never turn down seeing Alabama take on Michigan.
9. Gator Bowl
The Duke Blue Devils had a strong season under Manny Diaz, while Lane Kiffin fell short of leading Ole Miss to the CFP. What will transpire in this exciting matchup?
10. Birmingham Bowl
The Vanderbilt Commodores will square off with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. After giving Georgia a scare, I'm intrigued to see what the Yellow Jackets will have in store for us here against a solid Commodores program.

11. Citrus Bowl
After getting left out of the College Football Playoff, I'm very intrigued by what kind of statement the South Carolina Gamecocks will make against Illinois.
12. Holiday Bowl
There's a lot to like about the direction that Fran Brown has taken Syracuse this year. Can they keep up against the Washington State Cougars?
13. Las Vegas Bowl
Two big brands with a lot of question marks moving forward. Will Texas A&M or USC prevail as the winner?
14. Alamo Bowl
The spotlight remains on the Colorado Buffaloes as they get set to take on the BYU Cougars in a matchup that surely should have some fireworks.
15. Texas Bowl
When will Brian Kelly start winning big games for the LSU Tigers? With some already big promises for 2025, he'll have a chance to lead the Tigers past Baylor in this matchup.
16. Liberty Bowl
I think Sam Pittman has gotten the poor end of the stick at Arkansas. Let's see if he can make a statement and lead the Razorbacks to a win over Texas Tech.
17. Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl
The Louisville Cardinals and Washington Huskies have a lot of similarities with how their regular season finished. Which team will end the year on a high note?
18. Hawaii Bowl
Who doesn't like a good Christmas Eve appetizer? The South Florida Bulls take on San Jose State in what should be a fun matchup.
19. Music City Bowl
I wonder what Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes will have up their sleeve against a powerful Missouri team that underachieved this year.
20. Duke's Mayo Bowl
I mean, who doesn't enjoy watching a head coach get doused with mayonnaise? In addition, Minnesota vs Virginia Tech is also a sneaky good matchup.
