College Football Playoff Chooses Makeup Dates in COVID-19 Contingency Plan

The College Football Playoff narrowed down potential make-up dates for both the semifinals and National Championship, according to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

The make-up dates have been set in case of potential COVID-19 outbreaks with any of the four playoff teams. The semifinals would be pushed to Jan. 11 and Jan. 12, if the games can not be held on New Year's Day. The National Championship could be moved from Jan. 11 to Jan. 18, per Dinich.

"Everyone is planning to play the games as scheduled," CFP executive director Bill Hancock told Dinich on Wednesday.
