The 2023 college football season is winding to a close, but there remains plenty of meaningful games left to be played in the 2023-24 bowl season.
The action continues on Thursday with a four-game schedule that features five ranked teams. The biggest game, arguably, is the Alamo Bowl: a battle of teams transitioning into — and out of — the Big 12. Incoming conference team Arizona will play its last game as a Pac-12 team against the outgoing Oklahoma Sooners, who beginning in 2024 will call the SEC their home.
Jedd Fisch's 14th-ranked Wildcats team have impressed in 2023, overcoming a 3-3 start to enter the Alamo Bowl with a 9-3 record (7-2 in Pac-12 play). Brent Venables and No. 12 Oklahoma (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) had a two-game stumble this season, but did have hard-fought win over Texas in the Red River Rivalry. It will also be the first opportunity for fans to see quarterback Jackson Arnold in meaningful action following the transfer of Dillon Gabriel.
