Inside the College Football Playoff National Championship
The first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship game, between Ohio State and Oregon, took place yesterday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and we were there to see it unfold. As you likely know by now, the Buckeyes triumphed over the Ducks with an impressive score of 42-20, taking home the biggest prize of the night -- in what will always be remembered as the first title to come from the newly adopted playoff system. There was so much technology at the event too, which isn't surprising given the fact it took place in the home of America's Team (or America's most hated team), the Dallas Cowboys. Some people refer to it as, "Jerry's World."
![<p>ESPN's never been shy about putting cameras in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/06/espn-lets-you-get-closer-to-the-action-during-mls-all-star-game/">new and interesting places</a> on the field of play. At the College Football Playoff championship game, yesterday, the network was seen testing these tiny "<a href="https://library.espnimages.com/pages/search.php?search=!collection15695&k=e3109fb408">Pylon Cams</a>." ESPN says these are customized broadcast cameras that can shoot at 1080p and 720p, featuring a wide-angle lens and a small wireless transmitter. Consider the "Pylon Cams" a work in progress for now, though -- ESPN doesn't know quite yet what the future holds for them.</p>
