Today’s slate is highlighted by Oregon State vs Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl and a top-ten matchup between Ohio State and Mizzou in the Cotton Bowl. Ohio State won’t have QB Kyle McCord, who announced his decision to transfer to Syracuse in mid-December, and will rely on sophomore QB Devin Brown to lead them against Cody Schrader, Luther Burden III and the Missouri offense. The Buckeyes are also expected to be without star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who has been with the team but not practicing in the lead up to the Cotton Bowl.
Friday’s action all kicks off with No. 22 Clemson taking on Kentucky in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. See below for the day’s full schedule, including start times and TV networks, as well as what’s coming up over New Year’s weekend and on New Year’s Day.
