Is there a guide to the different champ game broadcasts?

I've looked for a guide to the ESPN broadcasts tomorrow night, but I haven't been able to find one yet. I'm trying to figure out what will be different about each broadcast, other than just the commentators.
The guide on my DVR gives the following information:
ESPN - normal broadcast, my guide doesn't mention who the commentators are
ESPN2 - "Film Room" with Brian Grosse, Chris Spielman, Jim McElwain
ESPNews - "ESPN Voices" with Teddy Atlas, Michelle Bradle, Jay Bilas, Taylor Twellman, Marcellus Wiley
ESPNU - "Homer Telecast" with Barrett Jones, Tajh Boyd, Joe Tessitore
ESPN Goal Line - "Command Center" featuring split-screen app with live game and replays of every play with Mike Tirico, Todd Blackledge, Holly Rowe, Joe Schad
ESPN Classic - "Sounds of the Game" featuring the telecast without announcers
SEC Network - "Finebaum Film Room" with Finebaum, Greg McElroy, Booger McFarland
After the game ESPN will have a 10-minute post game, ESPN2 has College Football Final, and SEC Network has SEC Now.
Anyone have any thoughts about any of these broadcasts? I'm definitely avoiding ESPNews and I think the split screen view on Goal Line would just get on my nerves (and who needs replays of every play when you have DVR?). If Finebaum wasn't running the SEC Network telecast I'd probably watch that one. The other three all look equally appealing to me, but I am disappointed that they're not doing a dedicated Bama channel and a dedicated Clemson channel. I'm sure the SEC Network will be Bama-centric, but Finebaum is just terrible during a game. Would have been awesome to have Jim McElwain, Greg McElroy, and Barrett Jones all together.
ETA: Added ESPN Classic. Has anyone watched a game without the announcers before? How was it? Also, is ESPN Classic offered in HD? I could only find the SD channel on my guide.

I actually enjoyed the Finebaum Film room for the Cotton Bowl. Admittedly, I recorded it and didn't watch it live. I think it has Burt Bielema on it for the CG and he tends to take up too much room, literally and figuratively.
I'll probably just stick to the original broadcast and just ignore Herbstreit.

Oh that definitely settles that for me. No way I want to listen to him.

They do have a dedicated Bama and Clemson channel but it will be on ESPN3. So you can hear Eli and Phil call it from there if you like.

No thanks. I don't want to hear 30 minute rants about concussions.

Thanks! I didn't know they were doing that.

I watched the feed for Sparty that included Eli & Phil with the radio call

Yea. But he is pretty level headed. Clemson is pretty good. Onyewu was a beast.

Add Meola and Friedel and I'm in.

There is also a feed on ESPN3/WatchESPN that is the feed for the game but with each respective team's radio broadcast.

Film room all the way. Has Coach Mac and Boom on it.

I'm going with the traditional broadcast, but recording one or two of the others.

Thanks for posting, I wasn't aware of this.

Thanks! I looked for something like that on ESPN's website, but was having difficulty finding it.

I'll probably watch the regular telecast, but record this and watch it later this week.

From the online-only broadcasts in the link above, this one seems very intriguing:
ETA: Also, ESPN Classic will include the on-field halftime shows instead of a studio halftime show.

I watched some of the FSU/Houston game on spider cam. It was cool, and it would be really sweet if you synced up Eli with it. I was watching it on my phone, so it would have been even more sweet watching it on a nice TV.
