2014-15 College Football Bowl and Playoff Schedule

With the first-ever College Football Playoff Semifinals and National Championship game scheduled for January 2015, it adds to an already busy college football postseason schedule. Between December 20, 2014 and January 12, 2015, we have a total of 39 games including the seven matchups that are involved with the College Football Playoff system, the Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Rose, Sugar and of course, the National Championship Game.

ESPN airs all but six games and three of those will be on ABC. The only non-ESPN Family of Networks Bowl game will be the Sun Bowl which is traditionally broadcast on CBS. One or two will air on ESPN2.

Here’s the schedule. We don’t have announcing assignments yet and when we get them, they’ll be posted here at Fang’s Bites.
