ESPN's "CFP Megacast" will offer more than a dozen alternate productions should you find the traditional telecast of Oregon vs. Ohio State too normal for your taste.
They include the return of a popular offering from last year's BCS finale: "Film Room" on ESPN2, in which coaches break down X's and O's.
"ESPN Voices" on ESPNU will feature non-football ESPN personalities watching the game and kibitzing.
"Off the Ball" on ESPNEWS will focus on plays away from the ball.
"Sounds of the Game" on ESPN Classic will have ambient sound captured by 100 microphones throughout the stadium, and will include both bands' halftime shows. Ohio State's always is a marvel.
