2017-2018 NCAA FOOTBALL BOWL GAME SCHEDULE
-
I have never seen a NCAA game.
I guess that the best games are later in December and closer to prime time? Cotton, Rose, Sugar bowl...
Which games played early in the day would you recommend me? 8pm ET is 2am at my timezone and probably I won't be able to watch those night games.
I know many of you Buckeyes fans will tell me not to miss the Cotton Bowl, though.

Lots of games start at like Noon Eastern Time. Which would be like 6 PM your time. You could watch those.

1pm ET is 7 pm for me, but that's what I asked for advice, as I don't know which games are more enjoyable. I only could tell a few.

A couple of decent games that may play at that time are the Liberty Bowl: Memphis vs. Iowa St. and the Outback Bowl Michigan vs. South Carolina (despite what Woody says)
-
I'm with Woody. Michigan probably runs away with it.

I think he said it won't be very exciting.....I am not sure that is the same as saying M will run away with it.
He might have simply meant that it could be a "boring defensive battle" (though I often think those can be exciting). Perhaps he could clarify.
-
I enjoy defensive games. But I think this may be more of Great D + Average to Below Average O vs Good D and Bad O. The not great offenses will help the defences out, opposed to it being a great defensive game. If that makes sense.
We should win easily enough, 21-10. Something like that.

It could be worse....every team that goes even 6-6 gets into a bowl game.

Yes for the first week or so it's the reward games to fill out the 40 game tournament.......well make that the antiquated ol' boys mainly empty parade, banquet and football game between barely. 500 teams......who'd want to see a couple of top 8 or 16 teams duke it out before Christmas? It would only be for a few games
Hopefully that may change soon.
Now the about December 29 on games have some classic matchups this year.

Well....it just points out how much more meaningless the non CFP Bowls are. No on cared about them. There are non on today worth watching.....and now I am seeing where a number of guys who are considered maybe 3rd-4th rounders...or less, are skipping their bowl games to "prepare for the NFL".
The ONLY thing the bowl system may be worth is to make a little money for the schools....and I can envision that drying up....as who is really watching?

Wow skipping playing for State U to boost your draft stock and avoid injury that kind of blows the integrity of college sports to hell and back.
Even those old million dollar health insurance policies, now multimillion are not enticement enough for the big stars.......oh and who picks up the premiums for those??? Geeezzzus go ahead with stipends and playoffs and get it over with.
Football and basketball.
.......oh and BTW The March Madness Tournament is wildly successful and popular, I remember when the main networks didn't even televise the early rounds, only ESPN even bothered, but it was their business.
