Okay, listen, we get it. Most likely, you think bowl season starts on New Year's Eve. Maybe slightly earlier depending on when your team is playing. But regardless of whether or not you're aware of them, the bowls have already started, and there's plenty of college football action to get you through to the main events around New Year's.
A Memphis team on the rise against the high-powered offense of Western Kentucky? Don't let anyone tell you the early bowls are not worth bothering with when the Boca Raton Bowl could be the most fun we have all week.
Boca Raton Bowl
Western Kentucky (10-3, Conference USA) vs. Memphis (8-4, American Athletic Conference)
Location: FAU Stadium, Boca Raton
Time: Tuesday, Dec. 20, 7 P.M. ET/ 4 P.M. PT
Channel: ESPN
Mascot edge: Sorry Memphis Tigers, this isn't even a fair match. No one beats WKU's Big Red, mostly because no one is quite sure what the full superpowers of a giant, fuzzy red... whatever Big Red can do. It could belong to another dimension for all we know.
