It has been two weeks since Oregon won the Pac-12 title and football fans can have their college football fix tomorrow as bowl season finally begins. Although the Ducks don't play until the new year, Utah will have its final game of the season against Colorado State in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. It will be one of the 39 bowls that will be played over the next four weeks.

- Rose Bowl tickets aren't cheap for this seasons matchup between Oregon and Florida State. Just to get into the stadium it will cost a fan at least $150 and the average price for a ticket is $376.
