Traditional postseason college football bowl games take place exclusively during the winter holiday season, running from mid-December through early January, and culminating in the national championship game in January. Because the current date falls in mid-August, the college football calendar is completely out of season, meaning there are no active bowl games, playoff matchups, or postseason contests occurring today. Collegiate athletic departments are currently engaged in fall training camps and final roster preparations, ensuring that fans must wait until the winter months arrive to experience the thrilling atmosphere of traditional college football bowl season once again.
