The NFL and college football are both popular sports that attract millions of viewers each week. Recently, college football has expanded its playoffs from four teams to twelve, providing more opportunities for teams to compete for the championship. However, this expansion has raised concerns about potential scheduling conflicts with NFL games.
One immediate conflict arises on Saturday, December 21, with two first-round college playoff games scheduled to air on TNT at 12:00 p.m. ET and 4:00 p.m. ET, followed by a third game on ABC and ESPN at 8:00 p.m. ET. On the same day, the Texans face the Chiefs at 1:00 p.m. ET on NBC, while the Steelers and Ravens play at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
The quarterfinals are set to take place on Tuesday, December 31, and Wednesday, January 1, leading into the semifinals on Thursday, January 9
