The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff has dealt us a fair share of twists and turns, with only one more thing to do: crown a national champion.
Many of the stalwarts faltered early, with the top-four seeds all losing in their first game. That included No. 1 Oregon, which suffered its first loss of the season, and No. 2 Georgia, which was aiming for its third championship in four years.
Now, all eyes descend upon Atlanta, with Notre Dame and Ohio State vying for glory on Monday, Jan. 20.
Here is everything that you need to know about the upcoming College Football Playoff schedule, including TV and live stream options for the national championship game.
