NCAA College Football 2011: Bowl Season Australian TV Guide - December

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy 2012!

About two weeks after the last serious batch of regular season/championship games ended, bowl season is upon us and, with apologies to fans of Temple and Wyoming, the schedule for Australian TV into 2012 appears below, minus that first - and, let's be honest, less than mouth-watering contest between the Owls and Cowboys in the New Mexico Bowl.
