Bowl Schedule
There are literally dozens of college football bowl games that take places each college football season. They are usually traditional games between rival conferences to decide who the best is. Of course there are also the four Major Bowl Games that are largely determined by the BCS rankings as well as TV ratings considerations, university politics and business sponsors. There are many who say the BCS system is corrupt and unfair, but for now its the only system we’ve got. Here is the complete 2008-09 College Football Bowl schedule.
