Well, since we did not get any college football this weekend, aside from the pageantry of the Army/Navy game, let’s go ahead and look at the College Football Playoffs. As you all know, this is the first year of a 12-team field. The games begin this coming Friday night with four first round games to be played on the campuses of the higher seeded team.
12/20:
#10 Indiana @ #7 Notre Dame
12/21:
#11 SMU @ #6 Penn State
#12 Clemson @ #5 Texas
#9 Tennessee @ #8 Ohio State
On New Year’s Eve and January 1, the four top seeded teams - #1 Oregon, #2 Georgia, #3 Boise State, and #4 Arizona State - play the winners of those first round games in the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Peach Bowls, respectively.
