College Football Regular and College Bowl SeasonCollege Football Regular SeasonThe college football regular season is divided into two portions. The first portion, typically the first two to three weeks of the season, is called the non-conference season. In these games, teams play other teams from outside their conference in order to test their abilities against different competition. For example, the first week of the season may feature a game between the Syracuse Orangemen of the Big East and the Washington Huskies of the PAC. These games also allow highly ranked teams to play each other outside the bowl season. For example, a team that is in the middle of the Top 25 rankings may try to schedule a top-flight team in order to increase their difficulty of schedule. Check out Bovada and start winning NOW!

The more substantial part of the season is the conference schedule, with a team playing all or most of the teams in their home conference. Typically, teams alternate home and away games with each other on a seasonal basis. Conference games allow teams to compete for bowl games that are tied to a certain position in the conference. For example, the top team in the ACC may be able to go to a higher profile game on New Year's Day, while the third team in the ACC plays in a lesser bowl on New Year's Eve. As well, several conferences including the SEC, ACC, and Big Twelve feature conference championships between the top teams in the two divisions of these conferences. College Football Bowl Season One of the best parts of the college football season is the bowl season, which begins about mid-December through the first week of January with the college football championship game. Bowl games act as the college football's post season, with many teams aiming to get to higher profile bowls, year in and year out. With a variety of venues like Memphis, Tennessee, Seattle, Washington, and Honolulu, Hawaii, the college football bowl season provides college football players an opportunity to show off their abilities to different crowds. 2011 BCS Betting Odds and BCS Bowl Predictions from expert college football picks capper Reno Gold! The bowl season is beneficial to a number of interests in the college football game. College students and other fans often travel to their team's bowl game and get an opportunity to see non-conference teams they may not otherwise get to see in person. Colleges receive a certain payment from sponsors for attending the bowl, with the sponsors playing commercials and using the field as a miniature billboard to sell their products. As well, college football players get one more game on a bigger scale to show their abilities and their pro potential.
