There's plenty of bowl action this weekend to keep college football fans satiated until the BCS starts next week, including three matchups on Thursday.
Bowling Green takes on San Jose State in the Military Bowl at 3 p.m. ET, Cincinnati and Duke square off in the Belk Bowl at 6:30 p.m., and UCLA and Baylor get set to meet in a potential shootout in the Holiday Bowl at 9:45 p.m. All games are on ESPN.
The weekend of gridiron action continues with three bowl games on Friday and five more on Saturday. Friday features the Independence Bowl (Ohio vs. Louisiana-Monroe), the Russell Athletic Bowl (Rutgers vs. Virginia Tech) and the Meineke Car Care Bowl (Minnesota vs. Texas Tech). Saturday's loaded slate includes the Armed Forces Bowl (Rice vs. Air Force), the Pinstripe Bowl (West Virginia vs. Syracuse), the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (Navy vs. Arizona State), the Alamo Bowl (Texas vs. Oregon State) and the the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (TCU vs. Michigan State).
Here's a look at the remaining bowl schedule.
