The 2015 California junior college football season has come to an end with bowl invites passed out and the championship playoff bracket set. The California Community College Athletic Association Football Bowl Game Selection Committee has picked 28 teams to play in 14 bowl games splitting the games between the Northern California Football Association and the Southern California Football Association.
In the Northern California Football Association Championship, the Bulldog Bowl, Chabot College vs. San Mateo, and San Francisco Community College Bowl, Butte College vs. City College of San Francisco, are the semi-final matchups. The winner with the highest seed, noted below, will host the championship game on Nov. 28.
The Southern California Football Association Championship is set up the same way as the northern format except the National Bowl, Riverside City College vs. Saddleback College, and the Southern California Bowl, Long Beach City College vs. Cerritos College, will serve as the semi-final round for that bracket. The California Community College Athletic Association Football State Championship game will be played on Dec. 12 with the NCFC Champion hosting the contest.
