Putting on a major college football game is quite the production, not only for the host city, but also for the program participating in it. Everything must be carefully coordinated, and that takes planning. Here is a look at Florida State’s schedule leading up to the game against Alabama. You’ll see that every minute is accounted for.

I removed some details like which ballroom the different position segments will be meeting in, as it clutters up the look.
