What’s on Antenna: The College Football Playoffs
The college football playoffs are here!
The first round of the playoffs is this week and 8pm ET December 20th on ABC Notre Dame will host the surprising Indiana Hoosiers in a clash of in-state schools for the right to move on to the next round. December 21st at 8pm ET on ABC features the Tennessee Volunteers at the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on the NCAA Bowl games as well –
The Holiday Bowl is December 27th at 8pm ET on FOX where Syracuse will play Washington State.
December 28 at 4:30pm ET on the CW Network features Colorado State versus Miami (Ohio).
My two top picks for must-see-TV are the Alamo Bowl on December 28 at 7:30ET on ABC and Pop-Tarts Bowl at 3:30 ET on ABC –
The Alamo Bowl features the Colorado Buffaloes with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and the BYU Cougars. Both teams finished tied for first in the Big XII regular season and if the tiebreakers would have fallen differently, this could have been the Big XII Championship game! At this point all the players will be playing in this game and we’ll get to see which team can claim superiority in the Big XII standings by playing it on the field!
The Pop-Tarts Bowl may be the best bowl game of the season. Big XII Runner Up Iowa State Cyclones play the Miami Hurricanes in a match-up of natural disasters! Both teams narrowly missed the college football playoffs, everyone will play in this one and Heisman finalist Cam Ward will face off against one of the nation’s best pass defenses in Iowa State who also has defensive mastermind John Heacock as their defensive coordinator.
Week 16 of the NFL features a noon central kickoff on NBC where the 9-7 Houston Texans will play at the 13-1 KC Chiefs. Fox has the 3:30pm central game that features the 10-4 Steelers against the 9-6 Ravens in a game that could decide the division champion.
NCAA Basketball is ramping up with a 12:30 central game on CBS between Mississippi State and Memphis followed by UCLA at North Carolina.
Happy Holiday Sports watching and See you Next Year!
