While the makeup of the national championship game won't be decided until after the national semifinals on Jan. 1, schools involved in the College Football Playoff already have considered the possibility of a scheduling conflict at AT&T Stadium during the days leading up to the title game on Jan. 12.
The Arlington, Texas, stadium is home to the Dallas Cowboys, who enter the final weekend of the NFL's regular season within striking distance of a first-round bye in the playoffs.
If the Cowboys defeat the Washington Redskins — and get help via losses or ties from four other NFC contenders — the team's first playoff game would come at home in the divisional round. That divisional game would fall on either Jan. 10 or Jan. 11, just ahead of the championship game on Jan. 12.
