The 2022-23 college football bowl season is nearly here.

The bowl schedule is set Sunday, with some games confirming beforehand. The process will formally begin once the final College Football Playoff rankings are set as well as the CFP semifinals and the New Year's Six matchups.

My goal was to make this easier for folks trying to anticipate where their school might end up ahead of Sunday's announcement. Some conferences are easier to evaluate than others.

Here are the full bowl tie-ins and affiliations by conference, subject to change:
