What is a "bowl game"?
A bowl game is a post-season college football game in the United States, typically played between two teams that have had successful seasons. These games are often part of a series of matchups, and the name "bowl" comes from the stadiums in which many of them are held, which often have a bowl-like shape. Bowl games are usually played after the regular season ends, and teams compete for a trophy, with the winner considered the champion of their particular game.
