On Wednesday, the College Football Playoff committee announced the schedule for the first 12-team field that debuts this season in late December.
One noticeable change is that two first-round playoff games will be aired on TNT Sports, which recently announced they subcontracted the games from ESPN.
Last year the Texas Longhorns earned a spot in the 2023-24 College Football Playoffs, which under the 12-team rules would have put them straight into the quarterfinals for being a top conference champion. As Texas heads into the SEC, it will have ample opportunity to be a top seed again or land in one of the seven at-large bids.
The playoffs start on Dec. 20 and run through Jan. 20 when a new national champion is crowned.
