The most wonderful time of the year is here.The 2016 bowl season kicks off with six games on Saturday. Well have to wait until Dec. 31 for the College Football Playoff semifinals, but there are plenty of other compelling bowl games to watch between now and then.Which games are the most interesting? We rank each of the 41 bowl games from best to worst:1. College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl: No. 3 Ohio State?vs. No. 2 Clemson?(Dec. 31, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona)A prime-time quarterback matchup (Clemsons Deshaun Watson vs. Ohio States?J.T. Barrett) and a big-time coaching duel (Clemsons Dabo Swinney vs. Ohio States Urban Meyer) with a spot in the CFP National Championship Game on the line. What more could you want?2. College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: No. 4 Washington?vs. No. 1 Alabama?(Dec. 31, 3 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Georgia Dome, Atlanta)Defending national champion Alabama is two victories away from completing the first 15-0 season in modern college football history. The Crimson Tide must defeat the Pac-12 champion Huskies to advance to the CFP National Championship Game. Will Washington coach Chris Petersen have another trick up his sleeve?3. Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual:?No. 9 USC?vs. No. 5 Penn State?(Jan. 2, 5 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California)Two of the hottest teams in the FBS square off in The Granddaddy of Them All.

Capital One Orange Bowl:?No. 6 Michigan?vs. No. 11 Florida State?(Dec. 30, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida)The Wolverines just missed making the College Football Playoff, but theyll have to bounce back to slow down Seminoles tailback Dalvin Cook. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher already has won something Michigans Jim Harbaugh wants: a national championship.5. Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl:?No. 20 LSU?vs. No. 13 Louisville?(Dec. 31, 11 a.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App) Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Florida)New LSU coach Ed Orgeron will try to carry some momentum into the offseason by handing Louisville its third straight loss. The game will feature one of the best tactical matchups of the postseason: Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino vs. LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda.6. Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 14 Auburn?vs. No. 7 Oklahoma?(Jan. 2, 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans)Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and his high-octane offense get another chance to take down an SEC opponent. Auburns offense should be better if quarterback Sean White is healthy.7. Valero Alamo Bowl: No. 12 Oklahoma State?vs. No. 10 Colorado?(Dec. 29, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas)We probably wont see another 31-point second-half comeback, like last seasons Oregon-TCU game, in which the Horned Frogs prevailed here. But the Buffaloes and Cowboys might still produce one of the more compelling games of the postseason.8. Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: No. 15 Western Michigan?vs. No. 8 Wisconsin?(Jan. 2, 1 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas)The undefeated Broncos will row their boat to the Cotton Bowl, where theyll look to become only the sixth FBS team to finish a season with a 14-0 record.9.

Boca Raton Bowl: Memphis?vs. Western Kentucky?(Dec. 20, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (FAU Stadium, Boca Raton, Florida)Get out your calculators.

Hyundai Sun Bowl: No. 18 Stanford?vs. North Carolina?(Dec. 30, 2 p.m. ET, CBS) (Sun Bowl, El Paso, Texas)Its your last chance to see Stanford star Christian McCaffrey in a college uniform.

Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl: Nebraska?vs. No. 21 Tennessee?(Dec. 30, 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee)The Cornhuskers had problems scoring down the stretch.

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl: BYU?vs. Wyoming?(Dec. 21, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego)We really need a WAC marathon before this one.15. Belk Bowl: Arkansas?vs. No. 22 Virginia Tech?(Dec. 29, 5:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina)If you havent heard, Hogs coach Bret Bielema didnt include the Hokies on his final ballot in the coaches poll.

Outback Bowl: No. 17 Florida?vs. Iowa?(Jan. 2, 1 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App) (Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida)First team to 13 points wins, am I right?17. AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl: Texas A&M?vs. Kansas State?(Dec. 28, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas)If nothing else, you can watch Kansas State coach Bill Snyder break in his new pullover.18. AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Georgia?vs. TCU?(Dec. 30, noon, ESPN/ESPN App) (Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Memphis, Tennessee)Both of these teams were ranked in the top 15 after the opening week of the season.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl: No. 23 Pittsburgh?vs. Northwestern?(Dec. 28, 2 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York)The Panthers beat No. 2 Clemson and No. 5 Penn State. How many other teams can say that?20. TaxSlayer Bowl: Georgia Tech?vs. Kentucky?(Dec. 31, 11 a.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Florida)The Yellow Jackets and Wildcats have a lot in common.

St. Petersburg Bowl: Miami (Ohio) vs. Mississippi State?(Dec. 26, 11 a.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida)No, Ole Miss isnt the best 5-7 team in the FBS.

Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl: Louisiana Tech?vs. No. 25 Navy?(Dec. 23, 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Texas)This game probably would have been a lot more compelling if Navy hadnt lost another quarterback to a season-ending injury. At least the Midshipmen will have a couple of weeks to get somebody ready to direct the triple-option offense.31. Military Bowl Presented by Northrop Grumman: No. 24 Temple?vs. Wake Forest?(Dec. 27, 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Annapolis, Maryland)You might get to see the Demon Deacons score against the Owls for the first time in school history.

Dollar General Bowl: Ohio?vs. Troy?(Dec. 23, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile, Alabama)Hows this for a coaching matchup?

Popeyes Bahamas Bowl: Eastern Michigan?vs. Old Dominion?(Dec. 23, 1 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Thomas A.

Hawaii Bowl: Hawaii vs. Middle Tennessee?(Dec. 24, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Aloha Stadium, Honolulu)The Rainbow Warriors probably dont want to hear about Middle Tennessees travel concerns about heading to the islands. Hawaii traveled more than 19,000 miles to play California in Australia and Michigan on the road for its first two games this season. At least Hawaii will get to stay home for the postseason.35. R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl: Southern Mississippi?vs. Louisiana Lafayette?(Dec. 17, 9 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans)It might be a matchup of 6-6 teams, but its going to be one heck of a party on Bourbon Street and inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.36. Miami Beach Bowl: Central Michigan?vs. Tulsa?(Dec. 19, 2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (Marlins Park, Miami)Tulsas high-powered offense is fun to watch.

Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl: North Carolina Central?vs. Grambling State?(Dec. 17, noon ET, ABC/ESPN App) (Georgia Dome, Atlanta)The HBCU showdown in the Georgia Dome is about more than the halftime show.

Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl: South Alabama?vs. Air Force?(Dec. 30, 5:30 p.m. ET, Campus Insiders) (Arizona Stadium, Tucson, Arizona)South Alabama upset Mississippi State on the road to open the season, but it didnt win again away from home -- losing at Louisiana-Lafayette, Arkansas State, Louisiana-Monroe and Idaho.40. Gildan New Mexico Bowl: New Mexico?vs. Texas San Antonio?(Dec. 17, 2 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) (University Stadium, Albuquerque, New Mexico)This will be Texas San Antonios first-ever bowl game. The Roadrunners started their program in 2011 and are only in their fifth season of FBS play, matching the NCAA record for the fastest program to reach a bowl game, equaling South Alabama (2014) and Georgia State (2015).41. Zaxbys Heart of Dallas Bowl: Army?vs. North Texas?(Dec. 27, noon, ESPN/ESPN App) (Cotton Bowl, Dallas)If you think youve seen this game before, its because you have.
