The announcers for the 1st round and the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff have been released by ESPN's Amanda Brooks. ESPN’s A-team of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Holly Rowe will be on the call for Oregon’s playoff opener in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

The Rose Bowl is arguably the most iconic event in all of college football. Over the years, ESPN has consistently had their top announcing crew call the game. That will once again be the case this year. Oregon has not yet played a game on ESPN or ABC this season due to the new TV deal with the Big Ten.

Fowler and Herbstreit will also be in action this weekend, and will call Saturday night’s first round matchup between Tennessee and Ohio State.
