Updated: College Football Playoff confirms dates, sites for 2026-2031 postseasons

I’ve never particularly cared before about the announcements from the folks at the College Football Playoff about what they have going on, because UVA Football was never going to be part of those festivities.

Now that we’re playing big boy football, here we go.

The CFP announced its dates and sites for the 2028-2031 quarterfinals and semifinals, and I’m going to loop that news in with the already announced dates and sites for the 2026 and 2027 quarters, semis and championship games, just because.
