Bowl Games Schedule 2014-15: TV Info, Live Stream and More

A handful of teams enter Week 15 with either championships or season-ending showdowns on the horizon, but the remaining bowl-eligible programs wait patiently to find out where their holiday business trips will take them.

There won't be any real answers until Selection Sunday, although bowl representatives have been following teams around all season and preferences are starting to emerge. When it comes down to it, the College Football Playoff results and subsequent New Year's Six selections will have a trickle-down effect on everything else.

Until then, take a look below to figure out the date and time of your team's potential bowl destination.

With just one week to go until the final top four is decided and the CFP field is set, those who called for the four-team playoff are being shown exactly why the new format was created.

Alabama and Oregon have both leapfrogged Florida State in the CFP rankings, despite the fact that the Seminoles have yet to lose a game since their national title run in 2013. 

While Florida State has looked far from unstoppable, as told by its slipping down the rankings, could you imagine the chaos if an undefeated defending champion was left out?

Alas, Jimbo Fisher and Co. will have their chance to defend their title—as long as they can get past No. 12 Georgia Tech in the ACC championship. That will be a tall task for a team that has struggled practically every week, as the Yellow Jackets just knocked off Georgia.

The 'Noles won't be the only playoff hopeful with work to do Saturday in title games. Alabama will go up against No. 14 Missouri, No. 2 Oregon faces Arizona (the only team it has lost to in 2014) and No. 6 Ohio State will face No. 11 Wisconsin.

But if we see some more unpredictable finishes there, the Big 12 could be the big winner as Baylor and TCU both wrap up their nine-game conference slates Saturday, per USA Today's George Schroeder:

After Mississippi State's loss to Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl, the final spot in the top four is likely to open up, and either TCU or Baylor will likely fill that spot. While TCU has been ahead of Baylor in the rankings, the Bears would wrap up the Big 12 title with a win over Kansas State, and that could sway the committee.

Big-time implications can also be found in the Week 15 slate outside of CFP hopefuls. No. 22 Boise State is in position to make a New Year's Six bowl with one more win in the Mountain West title game against Fresno State.

After the Broncos dispatched the Bulldogs 37-27 in their previous meeting, you have to like two-loss Boise State's chances.

When it comes down to it, this weekend's results will have far-reaching implications beyond just the CFP and New Year's Six games. The outcomes will decide whether teams like Ole Miss, Kansas State and Georgia Tech will sneak into one of those games and bump up their conference foes to better bowl games or not. 

Simply put, a fan of any bowl-eligible team can find a reason to root a certain way as championship weekend nears.
