Even after a bizarre 2020 college football season, teams across the nation will get a chance to end their year on a high note at bowl games.
The COVID-19 pandemic created significant changes to the regular season, with some conferences shortening schedules and many key games being canceled or postponed. Several bowl games have also been canceled, including the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl and the Quick Lane Bowl.
Despite the adjustments, many teams thrived and will continue to showcase their abilities over the next few weeks.
Alabama returned to the top of the rankings after a "down" 2019, winning the SEC Championship Game over Florida while improving to 11-0 on Saturday. The Crimson Tide are the favorites to take home a national title, while quarterback Mac Jones is a top contender for the Heisman Trophy.
There should also be several exciting games beyond the College Football Playoff.
Coastal Carolina will look to complete its dream season after going 11-0. Cincinnati is also undefeated, adding the AAC championship to its 9-0 record.
Major-conference teams such as Indiana and North Carolina have also exceeded expectations and will celebrate their accomplishments on a bigger stage.
It leaves plenty of storylines for the upcoming bowl season.
