College Football Playoff announced dates, times, and TV for first 12-team playoff

The College Football Playoff released the dates and times for each of the 11 games that will be a part of the 12-team playoffs at the end of the 2024-25 season.

From December 20 through January 20, the 12 best teams in college football will clash for their chance at the National Championship.

The Longhorns are projected to easily earn a spot in the first-ever expanded 12-team format of the playoffs, after hopefully winning the 2024 SEC Championship.
