The 2025-26 college football bowl schedule is set, including the matchups for the first round of the College Football Playoff. Indiana is the No. 1 seed in the CFP, while Notre Dame surprisingly missed out on the CFP altogether and won't play in any bowl game as a result.
There are plenty of teams playing in bowls, though, and below are all of the matchups (and odds, courtesy of BetMGM), as bowl season spans over five weeks — starting Dec. 13 and ending on Jan. 19.
