Who’s ready for some bowl games?

With the season behind us and Championship Weekend decided, the race for the College Football Playoff has been decided. LSU claimed the No. 1 spot in the CFP and will play No. 4 Oklahoma. In the other semifinal, No. 2 Ohio State will play No. 3 Clemson.

The national championship picture is set, but there’s still plenty of bowl action to watch for the teams outside of the top four. The New Year’s Six Bowls were unveiled Sunday during the CFP Selection Show on ESPN.

Here’s how that slate looks:
