The start of bowl season also means the arrival of college football bowl confidence pools. While most fans are familiar with the heavyweights that will play as the 2023-24 college football bowl schedule progresses, they might not be as acquainted with teams from the first few bowl matchups, which could make bowl pool picks difficult. However, the opening of bowl season on Dec. 16 does feature a Power Five matchup in Cal vs. Texas Tech (-3) in the 2023 Independence Bowl. With a pair of 6-6 teams battling, and such a narrow college football spread, where should you slot this game with your 2023-24 bowl confidence picks?
The Big 12 has just a 4-8 record all-time in the Independence Bowl, while the Pac-12 is 3-1.
