As more teams get the opportunity to play in the College Football Playoff, so do more announcers.
Each of the first two rounds of the playoff is made up of four games, forcing networks to expand their coverage of the playoff and bring in some new faces to make their playoff debuts in the booth.
Playoff expansion has turned late December into a football bonanza. Who will be narrating it?
Here’s a look at the College Football Playoff announcers and which games they will be calling.

Six broadcast teams are set to call College Football Playoff games, according to ESPN:
The duo of Fowler and Herbstreit has been a staple of the College Football Playoff since its inception. Fowler and Herbstreit were in the booth when Ohio State won the first playoff after the 2014 season, and they are set to call games in all four rounds in this expanded playoff, starting with Tennessee-Ohio State.
Jones and Jones, no relation, have been calling games together throughout the season and are set to make their College Football Playoff debuts in the booth when Penn State hosts Clemson in the first round. Mark Jones is a longtime play-by-play broadcaster who also calls NBA games for ESPN and ABC, while Roddy Jones played football at Georgia Tech and joined ESPN as an analyst in 2017.
McDonough is a jack-of-all trades, calling everything from college football to the Stanley Cup Final, and he is no stranger to the College Football Playoff. He called Washington’s semifinal win over Texas last week. McElroy, a longtime analyst at ESPN, served as Alabama’s starting quarterback from 2009-10 and had a brief NFL stint with the Jets. They will call Indiana-Notre Dame in the first round.
Pasch joined ESPN more than two decades ago and is making his College Football Playoff debut after calling games throughout the regular season. Pasch is also a staple of ESPN’s college basketball coverage along with the NBA. Dvoracek, a former player at Oklahoma, spent the season working alongside Pasch. They’ll be on the call for Texas-Clemson in the first round.
Tessitore has plenty of big-game experience, including a stint as the “Monday Night Football” play-by-play broadcaster, and he got a tune-up for the playoff when he called Georgia’s eight-overtime win over Georgia Tech in November. Palmer, of “The Bachelor” fame, has been an analyst at ESPN since 2007. They will be on the call for Arizona State’s second-round game against either Texas or Clemson.
Wischusen joined ESPN in 2005 and has long been a play-by-play broadcaster for both college football and college basketball. Also the radio voice of the Jets since 2002, Wischusen will work alongside longtime ESPN analyst Louis Riddick. Riddick happens to be interviewing for the Jets’ general manager job, as well, so he and Wischusen could soon have another connection. They’ll call Boise Sate’s second-round game against Penn State or SMU.
