#Your 2020 College Football Bowl Game Schedule Is Here

The clock is already winding down on a college football season fraught with controversy and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But despite the lack of nonconference games, the unbalanced schedules, and the coronavirus cloud, the College Football Playoff selection committee should have a fairly decent sample to separate the season’s wheat from the chaff.

Quarterback Mac Jones and the Alabama Crimson Tide are eager to get back into the final four after missing out a year ago. The Clemson Tigers have their sights on a return to the title game after losing to LSU last season. The Ohio State Buckeyes are planning on a repeat playoff trip, while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish look for their second CFP berth.

Bowl season will be vastly different this year: Several games have already been canceled and more cancellations are coming, and those that are still happening will be short on both pageantry and spectators.

The four teams competing in the College Football Playoff won’t be announced until Dec. 20. On ESPN New Year’s Day, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans serve as the CFP semifinals, and the National Championship game is Jan. 11 at Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
