The Pop-Tarts Bowl might have been viral last year for it's adorable, edible mascot, but this year? There's an extra spin on the game...the mascots of the two teams participating: the Iowa State Cyclones and the Miami Hurricanes. Can you hear the weather puns now? The weather bowl will take place on Saturday, December 28, and is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT.

Iowa State was a Top 25 team, including being No. 18 in the College Football Playoff, but the Cyclones fell short in the Big 12 championship to Arizona State. The Sun Devils went on to take the No. 4-seed in the CFP playoffs, earning a first round bye. Miami is also a top 25 team, pulling the No. 13 spot in the CFP field. Unfortunately, Miami fell short of the 12-team playoff. The Hurricanes were upset by Syracuse in the final game of the regular season, eliminating themselves from the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship.
