The NCAA approved three new bowl games on Tuesday, according to ESPN. The new bowls will be in Tucson, Ariz., Austin, Texas, and Orlando, Fla.
With the three new bowls, the total bowl count is now up to 42, including the College Football Playoff national championship game. That means 82 of the 127 FBS teams will be required to fill each bowl game of the 2015 season.

The Arizona Bowl will be played on Dec. 29 in Arizona Stadium and is expected to be televised by CBS Sports Network. If the Mountain West or Conference USA can't field an eligible team, the Mid-American Conference would be considered.
