The national championship game, schedule for Monday, Jan. 9 in LA, will have ACC officials.

The second semifinal, which is the Fiesta Bowl between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU, will be officiated by an SEC crew, as will the Cotton Bowl between No. 10 USC and No. 16 Tulane. Big Ten officials will be responsible the Sugar Bowl (No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 9 Kansas State) and the Orange Bowl (No. 6 Tennessee vs No. 7 Clemson).
