2018 Sugar Bowl - Wikipedia

The 2018 Sugar Bowl is a College Football Playoff semifinals bowl game that will be played on January 1, 2018 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This 84th Sugar Bowl game will match two of the top four teams selected by the Selection Committee to compete for a spot at the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship to be played on January 8, 2018 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the 2017–18 bowl games that will conclude the 2017 FBS football season. Sponsored by the Allstate insurance company, the game is officially known as the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

The contest will be televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, with a radio broadcast on ESPN Radio and XM Satellite Radio, with kickoff time to be announced at a later date.

Teams

The two participants will be announced on December 3, 2017, based on the final rankings by the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee. The Sugar Bowl will pair either the #1 team against the #4 team, or the #2 team against the #3 team. When not hosting the semifinals of the new CFP system once every three years, the Sugar Bowl features the winner of the Southeastern Conference Championship Game and the Big 12 Conference champion.
