CFP won't flip dates of semis despite SEC request

The College Football Playoff will not flip the dates and times of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the Capital One Orange Bowl after SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday that he had made a request to change them.

Notre Dame will face Penn State Thursday, Jan 9, in the Orange Bowl at 7:30 p.m. ET
Texas will face Ohio State on Friday, Jan. 10 in the Cotton Bowl Classic at 7:30 p.m. ET

"The quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl was delayed after a pickup truck attack in New Orleans that left 15 people dead and dozens more injured. Sankey's concern was a potential disadvantage for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will have to play on a shorter turnaround than Penn State, which hasn't played since New Year's Eve and thus will get a longer rest."
