College Football Playoff schedule: Arizona State-Texas leads New Year's Day bowl games

New Year's Day has traditionally been one of the best football-watching days of the year.

This year should be even better.

In the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff, there are three CFP quarterfinal games on New Year's Day. The three games are being played at traditional bowl game sites: the Peach Bowl in Atlanta; the Rose Bowl in Pasadena; and the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The other CFP quarterfinal game was played on New Year's Eve, a 31-14 Penn State victory over Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl (Phoenix).
