The playoffs recently took on an expanded format involving 12 teams and 11 games. Like all college football playoff games in previous seasons, these games will be exclusively broadcast on ESPN, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNEWS, and ESPNU. It starts with the on-campus First Round involving the teams seeded #5 to #12 in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The four winning teams, plus the #1 to #4 seeded teams, will then compete in the Quarterfinals. The First Round takes place on the second-last Friday and Saturday in December, and the Quarterfinals on the 31st December and 1st January. The Quarterfinals now consist of four of the traditional New Year’s six bowls: the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and Orange Bowl. The Semi-finals are held a week later on the next Thursday (Fiesta Bowl) and Friday (Peach Bowl). The CFP National Championship finals take place exactly 10 days later.
