With the college football postseason around the corner, ESPN has released its list of broadcast teams and network assignments for this year’s bowl games. The schedule features tripleheaders on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, including the first-ever College Football Playoff matchups.
Here’s the announcer schedule for each 2014-2015 bowl game
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will call the national championship.
In addition to this year’s major bowls and playoff games, the ESPN family of networks will broadcast the majority of the second-tier bowl games as well.
The only postseason game not assigned to an ESPN/ABC network is the Hyundai Sun Bowl, pitting Duke against No. 15 Arizona State on Dec. 27 in El Paso, Texas. CBS has the broadcast, beginning at 2 p.m. ET, likely with Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson on the call.
Every game televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will also be available online via WatchESPN.
