This week's college bowl games feature Southern Miss and North Carolina—that's Larry Fedora's "old" team and his new one.

You'll find plenty of bowl games to get you from Christmas Eve to December 29. Add them to the NFL games and the return of the NBA, and clearly, someone needs to give me more Tvs for Christmas.
