Starting this Friday night, a new era of college football officially checks in. The first round of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff sees teams hos

The expanded, 12-team College Football Playoff kicks off Friday night in South Bend, Ind., with No. 7 seed Notre Dame hosting No. 10 Indiana. Here’s a look at what to expect.

After Penn State easily dispatched SMU in the first round of the College Football Playoff, the Nittany Lions face off against Boise State on New Year’s Eve in the first quarterfinal matchup before the triple header on New Year’s Day.

It took more than 100 years, a few billion dollars and the cold, hard realization that you can’t fight progress forever.

All four first-round games in the first 12-team Playoff were decided by double digits. It's unfortunate — but not a reason to panic.

The TV ratings proved views were interested. Each of the four games averaged 10.6 million viewers. That’s more than the four the non-CFP New Year’s bowls after the 2023 season averaged (8.14 million), and also topped the average for this year’s four major conference championship games (10 million).

The weekend after Christmas starts with a Friday schedule full of college football bowl games. Breaking down the five matchups on the menu.

The bowl games started on Dec. 14 with the Celebration Bowl where Jackson State beat South Carolina State 28-7 on Dec. 14 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The College Football Playoff bracket is down to its final eight teams, with the quarterfinals set to help fans ring in the new year.

College football's bowl schedule continues on with two more games on Friday. Check out the scores from today's action here:
