New Year’s Day will be a monumental day for the sport of college football, even more so than it usually is. That’s because, for the first time in the sport’s storied history, we will see the beginning of the new playoff format.

On New Year’s Day, two games will be played. Out in the Rose Bowl to begin things, the Florida State Seminoles and the Oregon Ducks will do battle in a match up featuring the ACC and Pac-12 champions. Immediately following the conclusion of that contest, we will then head to the Sugar Bowl, where the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes, who were able to work their way in as the final member of the group with their 59-0 win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game.

Obviously, the winners of these games will then face off with one another for the right to be called the national champion of college football.

But, where and when will the two winners go head-to-head with one another?

Well the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, featuring the winners of the semifinal games, will take place on Monday, January 12, and we will crown a new college football champion inside the confines of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
