After a week's worth of waiting, a Saturday night full of great football, and a particularly memorable Big Ten Championship game, its time to turn our attention to Northwestern's bowl selection.
The announcement of bowl matchups is incremental, and somewhat confusing. It essentially happens in three stages.
First, the College Football Playoff will be announced on a show on ESPN that begins at 11 a.m. CT. However, according to the official College Football Playoff website, the actual announcement will take place at 11:30 a.m. CT. An important not is that on this show, only the four Playoff teams are revealed, not the entire Top 25.
