The College Football Playoff has decided against switching the dates and times of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the Capital One Orange Bowl despite a request from SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.
The College Football Playoff will not change the dates and times of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the Capital One Orange Bowl after SEC commissioner Greg Sankey requested a switch. The Capital One Orange Bowl is scheduled for January 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). The quarterfinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl was delayed after a deadly pickup truck attack in New Orleans that killed 15 people and injured dozens more.

We slipped the game 18 hours to ensure we could provide safety and security for teams, coaches, staffs, fans and others involved. NOLA and Sugar Bowl officials were amazing.'The Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential was played on January 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). On Thursday, Sankey said he raised the issue of potentially changing the game on 'The Paul Finebaum Show' and asked decision-makers involved if it would be possible. 'I recognize that's difficult,' Sankey told Finebaum.'I don't know if it is impossible. I raised that and the focus quickly became today's kickoff, today's game and we'll see what happens. 'This is not an SEC-related issue, it's for both teams,' Sankey said.'I also know that the communities have dates, they have plans, there are stadium availability issues that can arise. What I've not heard back from anybody after having asked the question is really directly a yes or no answer to the question I aske
