Update: Dec 8th, 2022 10:30 EST

The 2022 college football season has been gruelling, with twists and turns that can scarcely be believed. The Alabama Crimson Tide are not at least in contention for the national title for the first time in what feels like living memory, and the surge of TCU into the top 5 makes this College Bowl Season the year’s sports highlight by a country mile.

The World Series is grand, the Super Bowl is a hoot, and this year has even had the World Cup to keep us entertained, but for the great swathe of American sports fans, nothing comes close to college football, particularly in the SEC. College football isn’t a game, it is a way of life.
