The schedule for the 2022–23 bowl games is below. All times are EST (UTC−5). Note that Division II bowls and Division III bowls are not included here. The bowl schedule was released May 26, 2022.

College Football Playoff and National Championship Game

edit

The College Football Playoff system is used to determine a national championship of Division I FBS college football. A 13-member committee of experts ranked the top 25 teams in the nation after each of the last seven weeks of the regular season. The top four teams in the final ranking are then seeded in a single-elimination semifinal round, with the winners advancing to the National Championship game.

The semifinal games for the 2022 season were the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl. Both were played on December 31, 2022, as part of a yearly rotation of three pairs of two bowls, commonly referred to as the New Year's Six bowl games. The winners advanced to the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 9, 2023.

Conference champions' bowl games

edit

Ranks are per the final CFP rankings, released on December 4, with win–loss records at that time. One bowl will feature a matchup of conference champions – the Cure Bowl. Champions of the Power Five conferences were assured of a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game.

Bowl-eligible teams

edit

Generally, a team must have at least six wins to be considered bowl eligible, with at least five of those wins being against FBS opponents. The College Football Playoff semifinal games are determined based on the top four seeds in the playoff committee's final rankings. The remainder of the bowl eligible teams are selected by each respective bowl based on conference tie-ins, order of selection, match-up considerations, and other factors.

Number of bowl berths available: 82
Number of bowl-eligible teams: 80
Number of conditional bowl-eligible teams: 1 (New Mexico State)
Number of teams qualified by APR: 1 (Rice)[21]

Bowl-ineligible teams

edit

Number of bowl-ineligible teams: 49

Venues

edit

A total of thirty-seven venues will be utilized, with seven of them in particular for the CFP National Championship and New Year's Six (NY6).[22] Prestige and capacity of venues usually increases as the schedule progresses towards to NY6 bowls and the national championship, in large part due to scheduling Top 25 teams late into the bowl games' time frame, while bowl games before Christmas Day typically involve schools in Group of Five conferences and FBS Independents (with the exception of Notre Dame due to being a member of the ACC in all other sports except for men's hockey which competes in the Big Ten). Televising at the venues of bowl games is largely run by ESPN and joint networks (ABC & ESPN2), with only three bowl games run by a non-affiliated network (Holiday Bowl on Fox, Sun Bowl on CBS and Arizona Bowl on Barstool Sports).[23] With the exception of the Bahamas Bowl in The Bahamas,[24] all bowls will be played within the United States.
