The Buckeyes defeated Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame on their way to the 2024-25 title, winning each playoff game by at least 11 points. Ohio State won’t have to worry about a first-round game in the latest edition of the bracket, but there will still be plenty of challengers standing in its way.

Once again, the College Football Playoff will feature a field of 12 talented teams battling for the trophy. The first round will begin on Dec. 19, and the CFP will conclude with the championship game on Jan. 19.

Here is everything you need to know about the College Football Playoff schedule, including TV and streaming options for each game.
