There's a lot of stuff here. @Bamabww we were talking about the All-22 a few weeks ago. They'll have a stream with that feature, I'm sure. You might enjoy a laptop and TV for this one...good perspective.

ESPN’s MegaCast Offers Up to 12 Productions to Experience Semifinal Saturday
For the second consecutive year, ESPN’s MegaCast presentation returns for the CFP Semifinals. The traditional telecast will air on ESPN, with up to a dozen alternate presentations featuring real-time analytics, statistical analysis, live discussion by head coaches, alternate camera angles, Spanish-language television and radio commentary and the hometown radio calls of the game paired with the ESPN telecast.

Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit Call CFP Semifinal at Capital One Orange Bowl; Maria Taylor on Alabama, Laura Rutledge on Sooners
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will call the CFP Semifinal at the Orange Bowl, their fifth semifinal together and the only play-by-play commentator and analyst duo to call a CFP Semifinal in every year of the system. Laura Rutledge will be assigned to the Sooners and Maria Taylor to the Crimson Tide. For the versatile reporters, it is their second consecutive year working a CFP Semifinal.

• Command Center(ESPN2 and ESPN App): A split-screen with four simultaneous camera views, which could include the main ESPN camera angle, the SkyCam view and isolated camera feeds of both head coaches at any given time. Enhanced statistics and real-time drive charts supplement the game action.
• Coaches Film Room (ESPNEWS and ESPN App): Head coaches watch the game in a film room, offering strategic advice in real time. Participating coaches will be announced next week
• Thinking Out Loud (SEC Network for Orange Bowl Only): Trio of Marcus Spears, Greg McElroy and Alyssa Lang make their MegaCast debut together, bringing hijinks, highlights and hilarity. More on SEC Network’s Orange Bowl plans are here.
• DataCenter (ESPN Goal Line and ESPN App): A perfect catch-all viewing option, as ESPN’s main telecast will be surrounded by up-to-date real time stats, analytics, social media reaction and player information.
• SkyCam (ESPN3 and ESPN App): The popular view from above the action — and behind the offense on most plays. This unique angle has been one of ESPN’s alternate viewing options for many years.
• All-22 (ESPN3 and ESPN App): Watch the game the same way players and coaches study film, with a vantage point high above the field of play. The angle allows for the 22 players on the field to be seen at all times providing the ability to distinguish how plays develop.

Well I will enjoy listening to these two.

I tried watching some of that after the fact last year but God it sucked. This seems like the absolute worst way to watch a game live.

You're still getting the audio feed from the game with All-22...knowing your love for the voices.

Seriously, the A22 is a few seconds behind the TV...I like it as a side reference to plays I've just seen. It's easy to look over at a laptop / tablet and get a better breakdown of the play. Passing routes, running lanes...

The Datacenter is just that.

I'd have to try the coaches version, live, before commenting. You'd think it would offer a pretty decent halftime alternative. If there were an option to listen, but not have the shots cut away to the group, I'd be more inclined to try that out. Marcus and Greg might be fun to listen to during a game.

Mark my words. Laptop/tablet/download the App/whatever...try All 22 as a second source.

My bad, I was talking about the coaches film room. I love the All-22 view.
