College football bowl schedule today: TV channels, start times to watch FBS, FCS, Division II & III games image

The college football regular season may be over, but there is still plenty of meaningful left to play — at every level of the sport.

Indeed, this weekend's slate of games features not only the first games of the 2022-23 bowl season, but also the FCS playoff semifinal matchups, Celebration Bowl and championship games for both Division II and III.

The headliner from the weekend could arguably be the Celebration Bowl, the de facto Black national championship game between Jackson State and N.C. Central. It's also the last game Deion Sanders will coach for the Tigers before he takes over at Colorado.

In the lower divisions, powerhouse Mount Union will take on North Central in the Stagg Bowl, attempting to earn the Purple Raiders' first national championship since the 2017 season. In Division II, Ferris State will attempt to follow up its national championship season against the Colorado School of Mines.

Of course, there are bowl games to watch as well, not least of which was the Cure Bowl between No. 25 UTSA and No. 24 Troy — the only bowl game between conference champions this season.

Other games to look out for include Cincinnati vs. Louisville in the Fenway Bowl, which could make for an awkward occasion considering the Bearcats just hired Cardinals coach Scott Satterfield and a good portion of his staff. Elsewhere, Florida — sans quarterback Anthony Richardson — will take on No. 14 Oregon State in the Las Vegas Bowl.

The Sporting News has everything you need to watch those bowl games all the way down to the Division III championship game:
