ESPN just announced its planned coverage for the upcoming bowl season and this year features an interesting quirk.

The network has the College Football Playoff semifinals in the middle of the schedule with a 16-day gap between those two games and the national championship game.

While we have no idea which teams will be filling these slots, we at least know what day and time these games are now set to be played and on which network they will air.
