College football schedule today: TV coverage, channels, scores for Friday bowl games
Friday's college football bowl game schedule marks an important milestone in the 2023-24 bowl season.
It's the first time one of the New Year's Six games will be played: a sign that the 2023 season is slowly coming to a close. The headliner of Friday's game will be the Cotton Bowl Classic between No. 7 Ohio State (11-1, 8-1 in Big Ten play) and No. 9 Missouri (10-2, 6-2 SEC).
The Tigers and Buckeyes will face off in only the teams' 13th all-time meeting, with the latter holding a commanding 10-1-1 advantage. That said, these teams haven't met since a home-and-home in 1997-98, and Missouri boasts a tremendous offensive trio of quarterback Brady Cook, running back Cody Schrader and receiver Luther Burden III. It remains to be seen whether Ohio State's all-world receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will opt out.
