(Click here for the 76 All-America players and six coaches on the ballot from the Football Bowl Subdivision and the 100 All-America players and 32 coaches from the divisional ranks.) Several of the new inductees will also participate in the pregame festivities and coin toss before the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship on Jan. 7 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

When
Monday, Jan. 7, during "SportsCenter"at 9 a.m. EST

Where
Live on ESPN2 during "SportsCenter"

How:
Watch live on ESPN2 or through the ESPN app.
 
Why:
Capture the emotion of the new College Football Hall of Famers as they express what it means to be recognized among the greatest coaches and players in the history of the game. Of the 5.33 million individuals who have played college football since Princeton first battled Rutgers on Nov. 6, 1869, only 1,214 champions of the gridiron (997 players and 217 coaches) have been immortalized in the Hall. In other words, only two one-hundredths of a percent (.02%) of those who have played the game have been deemed worthy of the honor.
