2011-12 College Football Bowl Game Schedule

The official college football bowl game schedule was released on Sunday night after yet another exciting finish to the regular season.

The bowl game pairings generated shock, happiness, and a fair share of disappointment - particularly for Oklahoma State. The BCS Championship pairing of Alabama-LSU won't end calls for a playoff anytime soon, but should effectively whet the palate of many college football aficionados.
