For weeks and months, many have been giving their college football bowl projections, but as always, things can change in an instant. Now, the Conference Championship Weekend is officially over and the regular season of 2016 is a thing of the past. All the fun of “Selection Sunday” has taken place and the NCAA College Football Playoff teams are known along with all the rest of the games. Take a look at the full schedule, TV information, teams, locations, and match-ups for all the college football bowl games.

Yes, it is going to be Alabama taking on Washington in the Peach Bowl as ESPN revealed the Crimson Tide were No. 1 as expected. With that, ESPN also revealed that the Huskies were No. 4 in the final regular season college football playoff rankings and they landed in the Peach Bowl as well.

No. 2 in the rankings went to Clemson as ESPN reported the Tigers will head to the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31, 2016. Their opponent? Well, many people don’t feel as if they deserve it since they didn’t even play in their own conference championship game, but the Tigers will take on the #3-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes.
