A majority of the 2025-26 college football bowls are now in the books, but there’s more action coming on New Year’s Day. There are three CFP quarterfinal matchups with Oregon vs. Texas Tech (+2.5), Alabama vs. Indiana (-7.5) and Ole Miss vs. Georgia (-6.5). Another four standard bowl contests then take place on Friday, before the College Football Playoff resumes next week with the semifinals on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n
Thus, there are still lots of opportunities to make college football bowl picks and best bets. The biggest remaining favorite for any game has Texas State as 14.5-point favorites versus Rice in Friday’s Armed Forces Bowl, per the latest college football lines.
