There are 47 total bowl games in the 2024-25 season, including four college football playoff first round games, four quarterfinal games, two semifinals, and the national championship on Monday, January 20.

The Deseret News ran simulations of each of the four first-round games on College Football 25, and according to the video game, it’s a good thing to have home-field advantage in the opening round. Here’s how the simulations were set up: the simulation used 10-minute quarters and I let the computer simulate the game with no user interference.

The 2024 winner? The mascot who forever changed the game. The inaugural Pop-Tarts Bowl was a massive hit in 2023, as "Strawberry," a giant Pop-Tart, voluntarily popped himself into a giant toaster after the game and emerged as an edible mascot for Kansas State to enjoy.
