With the final Top 25 CFP rankings released, the College Football Playoff matchups set and the New Year’s Six bowls also announced, individual bowls have begun to announce their matchups. The Holiday Bowl this year will feature Oregon and North Carolina in a high-powered matchup.

The 2022 Holiday Bowl is scheduled for a 5 p.m. PT kickoff on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at Petco Park in San Diego, California.

This will be Oregon’s fourth appearance in the Holiday Bowl, with a 2-1 record in their previous appearances in the game. The Tar Heels will be led by quarterback Drake Maye, a star involved in Heisman Trophy conversations this season while throwing for 35 touchdowns and rushing for seven more this season.

The Ducks could be led by another star in the Heisman mix during the season, Bo Nix, if he decides to play in their bowl game, pending his personal decision and health.
