College Football Playoff 2026: Why the Peach Bowl is one of the best games in college football
The College Football Playoff is underway and now that New Year’s Day is complete, the semifinal matchups will be set. Notably between the two will be the Peach Bowl, and as an Arizona State alumnus, I can tell you how awesome it is to be a part of the game in question (please don’t ask me how awesome it is to miss it). I recently had a chance to talk with Peach Bowl President and CEO Gary Stokan about the upcoming game (we spoke on New Year’s Eve before the Cotton Bowl for context, before we knew we were getting an Indiana-Oregon matchup) and the world of college athletics as a whole. If you love college football, any college sport, or good conversation, I think you’ll enjoy it. Gary is about to retire and has a wealth of knowledge. The Peach Bowl is an incredibly charitable bowl game and exists in a special space relative to the other bowls that everyone knows and loves. Since it is based in Atlanta, it shares a city with the College Football Hall of Fame and has created a little universe for itself regarding college football in general. Our thanks to Gary and Peach Bowl for their time!
