Six biggest games to watch in 2018-19 bo

The bowl season is finally here, barring the regular season-ending game between Army and Navy on Saturday. And with 40 games between FBS teams to key in on, it can be difficult to figure out the can't-mi s games are.That said, Sporting News has whittled down the six biggest games to watch in the 2018-19 college football bowl season.MORE: Whether its Urban Meyers final game as Ohio State coach or several key matchups in the College Football Playoff, here are the biggest can't-mi s games of the 2018-19bowl season:Ohio State vs. Washington (Rose Bowl)Seven-year Ohio State coach Urban Meyer shocked the college football world on Tuesday, announcing he'd retire as the Buckeyes coach following their Rose Bowl Game matchup against Washington. He has a chance to ride off into Tyler Lydon Jersey the sunset with a win against the Huskies, a far cry from where he found himself at the beginning of the season. Regardle s of your opinion on the polarizing coach, you cant deny his succe s in and effect on college football, from his time at Utah to Florida and now Ohio State. The postgame news conference alone will be worth watching. This will also be the last time you can watch Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin in a Washington uniform, and the first time since the 2013 season the Rose Bowl has been amatchup between the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions. Dont mi s this.LSU vs. UCF (Fiesta Bowl)UCF has an opportunity to extend its win streak to 26 games in the Fiesta Bowl against LSU. Its all too easy to draw parallels between this game and the Knights Peach Bowl win against Auburn last season: namely, the fact UCF gets to test its mettle against an SEC West powerhouse and potentially further its argument that Group of 5 teams deserve better representation in the College Football Playoff. This Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey game wont be the same without McKenzie Milton in UCFs backfield, but the Knights showed theyre capable of winning without him in a come-from-behind 56-41 victory over Memphis in the AAC championship. On the other side, its an opportunity for LSU to get its first 10-win season under Ed Orgeron, and first since 2013.MORE: Georgia vs. Texas (Sugar Bowl)Whats not to love about this Sugar Bowl matchup between two of college footballs bluest blue bloods? Georgia, despite not making the Playoff, , as demonstrated in the Bulldogs near upst of Alabama in the SEC championship. Texas looks to Denver Nuggets Jersey be a year ahead of schedule under second-year Tom Herman, who can give the Longhorns their first 10-win season since 2009, the year they lost the BCS championship game to Alabama. The quarterback battle between Sam Ehlinger and Jake Fromm should be fun to watch, to say the least.Penn State vs. Kentucky (Citrus Bowl)Trace McSorley, entering the 2018 season, finishes his storied career at Penn State against Kentucky and Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner Josh Allen. McSorley has willed the Nittany Lions to wins over the last three seasons (just look at last years Fiesta Bowl matchup against Washington). It will be fun to see if he can do it again against the Allen-led Kentucky defense, which ranks in the top 25 in yards allowed and top 10 in points surrendered. The winner of this game will also make it to 10 wins this season.MORE: Clemson vs. Notre Dame (Cotton Bowl semifinal)Clemson has gotten better as the season has progre sed, as has Notre Dame. The Tigers boast one of the best defensive fronts in college football, with Christian WIlkins, Dexter Lawrence and Clelin Ferrell all potential first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. That said, the defense to the likes of Texas A&M (501), South Carolina (600) and Pitt (191 rushing). How will that defense fare against Notre Dame, which has taken off under Ian Book and Dexter Williams? Its worth noting the last time these teams played was athriller in 2015, with Clemson stopping a Notre Dame 2-point conversion with just Allen Iverson Jersey seven seconds left to win 24-22.Alabama vs. Oklahoma (Orange Bowl semifinal)The semifinal matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Oklahoma will be a star-studded affair, and no individual matchup will be talked about more this bowl season than the potential quarterback duel between Alabamas Tua Tagovailoa and Oklahomas Kyler Murray. Tagovailoa finished the season with 3,353 pa sing yards and 37 touchdowns to four interceptions, compared to Murrays 4,053 yards, 40 pa sing touchdowns and seven interceptions (not to mention 892 rushing yards). That said, if Tagovailoa isnt ready to play after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his ankle, backup Jalen Hurts has shown hes of leading the Tide. Oklahomas offense is unlike anything weve seen this year, but Alabamas is no slouch either. Prepare to see some points.
