The College Football Playoff will be set on Sunday afternoon. Here is how to watch the selection show online via live streaming.
It all comes down to this. The College Football Playoff Selection Committee will meet for the final time on Sunday morning to discuss which are the four best teams in college football. Once the voting process ends, we will have our national semifinals set, as well as the other New Year’s Six bowls.
At 12:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 2, the selection show will begin on ESPN. The Selection Committee will have made some difficult choices in picking the top four in their meeting at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. The available live stream for this show can be found on WatchESPN.
The show will be lengthy, as it will run for four hours on ESPN. 30 minutes into the show, the final four teams will be set. This year, the two national semifinal games will be the Orange Bowl and the Cotton Bowl. Those two games will be held on Saturday, Dec. 29.
Two hours into the show, the entire Top 25 rankings will be revealed. This will include teams ranked No. 7 to No. 25. Before ESPN wraps it all up, the four remaining New Year’s Six bowl games will be announced. For the 2018 NCAA season, those four games are the Fiesta Bowl, the Peach Bowl, the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl.
After the two national semifinal games are in the books, the winners of those games will meet for the national championship a week later. This season, the national title will be decided at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Monday, Jan. 7.

As it is every year during the selection process, there will be great debate for the last team getting in. Usually the team that ends up at No. 5 has its reason to gripe about not making the field, while the No. 6 team doesn’t have as much of a case for being held out of the Playoff.
Regardless, it should be an exciting show on early Sunday afternoon. Four Power 5 schools will be ecstatic about their teams’ having the opportunity to play for a national title. Eight other teams can get excited about playing in marquee bowl games. 13 others, well, they can feel happy about being ranked heading into their not-so glamorous holiday season bowl.
