Best Bowl Matchups

The bowl games ranked by lowest total Saragin Rating. Of course the two playoff games top the list. A surprise at number nine: the Camping World Bowl.

The average bowl game pits two teams each with a ranking of 42nd in the country. In other words: unless your team is playing, there are a whole bunch of unwatchable bowl games.

Highlighted: the games I just might watch, depending on the time and day it comes on.
