Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole bowl games thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. Started off pretty chill, just trying to figure out what’s what with all these college football games popping up.
First off, I had to get a grip on which teams were playing. I mean, there are a ton of them! I spent a good chunk of time just sifting through schedules and rankings. Found out that Notre Dame was going up against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. That sounded like a big deal, so I made a note of it. Notre Dame was No. 5 and Georgia was No. 2, which, from what I gather, means they’re both pretty good.
Then, things got a little more complicated. Apparently, there are these “playoff” games, and they’re a whole different beast. I dug into how these playoffs work, and it turns out the teams ranked from No. 5 to No. 12 have to play these first-round games. It’s like a pre-party before the main event, I guess. Win or go home, pretty intense stuff.
I also started tracking the dates and times. One game, in particular, caught my eye – it was scheduled for January 20th at 7:30 PM ET. I jotted that down because I figured it would be a good one to watch. They even mentioned it would be on ESPN, which is convenient.
Getting Deeper into the Details
So, after I had a basic understanding of the schedule, I wanted to know more about the whole structure of these bowl games. I learned that there are a whopping 47 bowl games in total this season! That’s a lot of football. And four of those are just the first-round games for the playoffs.
- Dive into the Playoff Bracket: I spent some time figuring out which bowl games are part of the College Football Playoff bracket.
- Track Dates and Times: Kept a close eye on when each game was happening, especially that one on January 20th.
- Understand the Number of Games: Got my head around the sheer number of games – 47 in total, which is a lot to keep track of.
But here’s where it got a bit wild. I read that the Sugar Bowl was postponed because of some attack in New Orleans. That’s a whole other level of drama I wasn’t expecting. It made me realize that keeping up with these games isn’t just about the scores; it’s also about staying on top of all the unexpected stuff that can happen.
Anyways, that’s where I’m at with this bowl games project. It’s been a mix of figuring out schedules, learning about how the playoffs work, and then dealing with some real-world surprises. I’ll keep digging and see what else I can uncover. It’s definitely more than just a bunch of football games when you really get into it.
