College football bowl season 2023-24 schedule: Matchups, odds, times for all 41 games

The college football postseason is set (and not without spirited discussion regarding the College Football Playoff). This year, 79 teams reached bowl eligibility through conventional means — winning six games in the regular season. James Madison (11-1) and Jacksonville State (8-4) reached six wins but were not initially eligible for postseason play as they transition from FCS to FBS. Because there weren’t enough six-win teams, both got to join the bowl party. Minnesota filled the last bowl spot as the 5-7 with the best Academic Progress Report (APR).
