Here is all the information you need to know about the selection show.

TV: ESPN

Live Stream: Watch ESPN

This season, the semifinal games will be contested in the Cotton and Orange Bowl, where the committee will announce its selection of the teams at 12:30 p.m. ET. In the semifinals, the No. 1 team will take on the No. 4 team in one bowl game, while No. 2 and No. 3 compete in the other. 

When it comes to choosing which bowl will host which matchup, CollegeFootballPlayoff.com explains the criteria:

"

When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed.

"

Later in the day at 3 p.m. ET, the committee will announce the final Top 25 rankings and the matchups for the Fiesta, Rose, Peach and Sugar Bowls. 

CollegeFootballPlayoff.com highlights the selection process:

"

1. All displaced conference champions and the highest ranked champion from a non-contract conference, as ranked by the committee, will participate in selected other bowl games and will be assigned to those games by the committee. If berths in the selected other bowl games remain available after those teams have been identified, the highest ranked other teams, as ranked by the committee, will fill those berths in rank order. (Note: A “displaced conference champion” is a champion of a contract conference that does not qualify for the playoff in a year when its contract bowl hosts a semifinal game.)
2. The committee shall create the best matchups in these bowl games in light of the following considerations. None of these considerations shall affect the ranking of teams. Also, none of these considerations will be controlling in determining the assignment of teams to available bowl games.

"

The committee also explained it will use geography to help its decisions and will do its best to avoid repeating regular-season matchups. 

Soon enough, college football fans will know where their favorite teams are playing after an exciting end to the regular season and conference championship schedules.
