The 2025–26 season features 41 bowl games, including four college football playoff first round games, four quarterfinals, two semifinals, and the national championship on Monday, Jan 19.

The bowl schedule kicked off Saturday, Dec. 13 and goes all the way until Jan. 2. The College Football Playoff carries us from there to Jan. 19, when two teams will vie for a national championship in Miami Gardens, Florida.

It feels inevitable that the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers (15-0) are going to take home the College Football Playoff National Championship. The Curt Cignetti-led program, once known as a perennial bottom feeder, is just one victory away from completing the greatest two-year turnaround in the history of the sport.
