ALL 39 COLLEGE BOWL GAMES RANKED Proper Bowl Watching Requires Planning. We Have the Tools.

Posted: Dec 13, 2018/ Under: Spectator Sports / By: Gunner Bonebrake

OK, maybe only two games really matter. But there is something interesting about almost every bowl game. Maybe it's because they are playing in the Bahamas or on a blue field or a legend is retiring. The team at ManScore argued at length to bring you the prioritized list. For example, you probably want to switch from the Arizona Bowl about midway through the third quarter, because that's when the Cotton Bowl will be kicking off. This is complex stuff and requires planning!

Unfortunately, you won't be able to get ManScore points sitting on your couch. Most of the Spectator Sports Achievements for your ManScore require you to actually attend the game live. That said, we still want you to make the most of your time. We have also included a chronological list after our ranked list for those of you who just want to channel surf.

Happy Holidays!
