No. 4 – Belk Bowl (Virginia Tech 35 Arkansas 24)

Let us not forget that the fighting pumbas were actually ahead in this one…by a score of 24-0! The Hokies put together one of the best bowl comebacks in the history of the sport to get the win and build some momentum entering the 2017 season.

No. 3 – Russell Athletic Bowl (Miami 31 West Virginia 14)

Speaking of momentum, things couldn’t have gone much better for the ‘Canes – well, except for the poor first quarter by quarterback Brad Kaaya. After that, Miami cruised to the win over a ranked team to get to 9-4 on the year and continue the positive direction of head coach Mark Richt.

No. 2 – Fiesta Bowl (Clemson 31 Ohio State 0)

Yes, this is technically the bowl game that means the most since it was a CFP semifinal game, but some points have to be deducted based on what the Tigers did to the Buckeyes – further proving that Ohio State had no business playing in the playoff this year.
