ESPN's inaugural coverage of the COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff will showcase the upcoming single "Centuries" from the critically acclaimed and multiplatinum-selling Fall Out Boy. "Centuries" - which was released on September 8 and is the first single from Fall Out Boy's forthcoming album on Island Records - will be the featured track on ESPN's COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff game and studio telecasts, and in on-air promotions throughout the season.
ESPN will use the song in various capacities, including highlight packages and transitions in and out of commercial breaks during the network's coverage of the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day tripleheaders - the "New Year's Six" - showcasing the semifinals and four additional premier bowls and the first-ever
COLLEGE FOOTBALL National Championship on January 12.
The song will also be a central part of the regular-season marketing efforts to promote the top
COLLEGE FOOTBALL matchups across ESPN's networks each week.
ESPN began using an instrumental version of "Centuries" on August 25 in advance of the opening weekend.
Fall Out Boy and
ESPN will also collaborate on a video for exclusive use in the game telecasts. The video will feature the band performing "Centuries" and
COLLEGE FOOTBALL highlights relevant to each
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff matchup.
ESPN will have exclusive coverage of the
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff beginning with the 2014-2015 season featuring the four top teams as selected by the
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff Selection Committee. The
Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual and the Allstate Sugar Bowl will host the first Playoff Semifinals, which will pit No. 1 versus No. 4 and No. 2 versus No. 3 on January 1, 2015. The winners of those two games will
FACE OFF in the inaugural
COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff National Championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on January 12, 2015.
