We’ve made it past the college football regular season and are heading full steam ahead into the 2021 bowl season, and there are surely going to be plenty of highlights over the next couple of weeks.

From the MVP of bowl season to the best on-field plays to the hilarious Cheez-It and (hopefully?) mayo showers, we’ve got it all covered.

Let’s get bowling!

Today’s bowl games

All times Eastern.

Bahamas Bowl
Middle Tennessee vs. Toledo Rockets
Noon on ESPN and the ESPN App

Player to watch: Middle Tennessee QB Nick Vattiato. Vattiato has been one of many to play quarterback for the Blue Raiders this season, but he has had the reins of late. He has thrown for 754 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions in five games.

We’ve got plenty of great pregame action with this Bahamas Bowl dance off.
