The 2023–24 NCAA football bowl games is an ongoing series of college football bowl games in the United States, primarily played to complete the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Team-competitive bowl games in FBS began on December 16 and concluded with the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 8, 2024. Several all-star games will follow.
Schedule[edit]
The schedule for the 2023–24 bowl games, announced in May 2023, is below. All times are EST (UTC−5).
Division I FBS bowl games[edit]
College Football Playoff bowl games[edit]
 | It has been suggested that 2023–24 College Football Playoff be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2024. |
– National Championship, 
– Semifinal Bowl, 
– Non-semifinal bowlThe College Football Playoff system is used to determine a national championship of Division I FBS college football. A committee of experts will rank the top 25 teams in the nation after each of the last seven weeks of the regular season. The top four teams[c] 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 2023 season are the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. Both will be played on January 1, 2024, 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 will advance to the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship to be contested on January 8, 2024, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
On December 3, 2023, the College Football Playoff committee announced that it had selected Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama to participate in the 2023–24 College Football Playoff. The committee's decision to select the Southeastern Conference's (SEC) Alabama (12–1) instead of the Atlantic Coast Conference's (ACC) Florida State (13–0), who became the first undefeated Power Five conference team to not qualify for the playoff, received intense criticism from fans, writers, and commentators. Specifically, several of these viewers accused the committee of corruption, bias, and favoritism towards the SEC.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The CFP committee chair and others defended the selection of Alabama, which defeated five ranked teams (compared to Florida State's three) during the season, including No. 1 ranked Georgia in the last game of the SEC season, saying that Alabama was currently the better team overall.[9][10][11][12]

Non-CFP bowl games[edit]
Several bowl name changes were made, as compared to the prior season's bowl games:
- Due to construction at its normal stadium, the Bahamas Bowl was temporarily relocated to North Carolina and branded as the Famous Toastery Bowl per its title sponsor.[14]
- Due to a change in title sponsor, the LendingTree Bowl was renamed as the 68 Ventures Bowl.[15]
- Sponsor Kellogg's (renamed Kellanova in October 2023, after the company's North American cereal business was spun off as the WK Kellogg Co[16][17]) renamed the Cheez-It Bowl as the Pop-Tarts Bowl.[18]
Rankings are per the final CFP rankings that were released on December 3.
Division I FCS bowl game[edit]

All-star games[edit]
Each of these games features college seniors, or players whose college football eligibility is ending, who are individually invited by game organizers. These games are scheduled to follow the team-competitive bowls, to allow players selected from bowl teams to participate. The all-star games may include some players from non-FBS programs.
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, which debuted in 2012 and was played 12 times through January 2023, was discontinued. The East–West Shrine Bowl relocated from Nevada (where its prior two editions had been played) to Texas.

† Boise State, UNLV, and San José State all finished with a 6–2 conference record, creating a three-way tie. Since all three teams did not face each other during the season, and none of the teams were in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings before the conference championship game, the three-way tie was broken by a composite average of computer rankings from Anderson & Hester, Colley Matrix, Massey and Wolfe. UNLV finished with the best average rankings at 44.5, while Boise State came in second at 55.75 and San José State third at 58.5. Therefore, the Broncos and Rebels secured their spots in the MW Championship. UNLV and Boise State did not play each other during the regular season. The Rebels' superior average computer ranking earned them the right to host the title game.[28]

Note: The only independent team that played in an FBS bowl game was Notre Dame.
Notes[edit]
- ^ 41 FBS bowl games, the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, and 1 FCS bowl game.
- ^ Dates reflect Division I team-competitive bowl games, and exclude all-star games and bowl games in lower divisions.
- ^ The playoff is scheduled to expand to 12 teams, starting with the 2024–25 bowl season.[1]
- ^ The Liberty Flames were one of only four FBS teams in 2023 with an undefeated pre-bowl season,[13] but finished much lower in the CFP rankings as they compete in Conference USA (C-USA), one of the Group of Five conferences, generally regarded as less challenging than the Power Five conferences. However, they are the first C-USA team to compete at this level of bowl game in the history of the Bowl Championship Series (1998–2013) and the subsequent College Football Playoff system, introduced in 2014.
- ^ Despite having a 5–7 record, Minnesota became bowl-eligible due to having the highest Academic Progress Rate among five-win teams.
- ^ a b c As there were not enough otherwise bowl-eligible teams to fill available spots, Jacksonville State and James Madison became conditionally bowl-eligible due to their winning records, despite their transitions from FCS.
- ^ Sam Houston was bowl-ineligible due to their transition from FCS to FBS, and the Bearkats would have been bowl-ineligible regardless, as they finished with a 3–9 record
- ^ Arizona State self-imposed a bowl ban due to recruiting violations that occurred in 2020.[27] The Sun Devils would have been bowl-ineligible regardless, as they finished with a 3–9 record.
- ^ Despite finishing at 6–6, Army only had five wins at the time bowl matchups were determined; additionally, two of their wins were against FCS teams.
