What is the best way to celebrate the transition from 2025 to 2026? Sitting back, relaxing and enjoying some college football action, of course.

While the College Football Playoff semifinals are set, bowl season winds to a condiment-drenched conclusion Friday with four more games. 

The most appealing matchups are in Memphis and San Diego. Navy faces Cincinnati in the Liberty Bowl, while No. 17 Arizona meets SMU in the Holiday Bowl. The most exciting moment, however, could come after Wake Forest and Mississippi State face off in the Duke's Mayo Bowl, when the winning coach traditionally has the title sponsor's product dumped on his head. 

Here is everything you need to know about watching college football games Friday, including TV and streaming options for all the matchups.
