Yeah! Another Bowl Game

The American Athletic and Sun Belt conferences will participate in a new bowl game in Orlando, Fla., in 2015, sources said Tuesday.

 

The addition of the game -- it will be called the Cure Bowl and benefit breast cancer-related charities -- will increase the number of bowls in 2015 to a record 40, although that includes the College Football Playoff title game, so only 78 bowl teams will be needed.

 

There are 39 bowls (requiring 76 teams) expected for the coming season -- up from 35 games and 70 teams that went to bowls in 2013.

 

Bowls Getting Fuller

A record 40 bowls will be contested beginning in 2015 with the addition of a matchup between AAC and Sun Belt teams in Orlando, Fla. The move continues a rise in postseason games in recent years. Here's a look:
