So the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) will go by the wayside and be replaced with the College Football Playoff (CFP)
The CFP will incorporate 12 teams, 4 of which will be selected for a playoff.
Lets keep in mind, the CFP embodies all 7 games, 12 teams.
A selection committee will take what they feel are the 4 best teams. Currently the standards for how they will select has not been determined. But it is widely known Conference champions are not a requirement.
There are 6 bowls and a NCG that make up the CFP. The Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Cotton, Peach and an alternate NATTY game that will be chosen similar to the SUper Bowl 2-4 years in advance.
Each year the 6 games will rotate the semifinal games pairing these Bowl games. Rose and Sugar / Orange and Fiesta / Cotton and Peach.
In a year where one of the bowl games does not have the semifinals, they will host a CFP game, similar to what we have in the BCS's Non NCGs now.
After the semifinals, there will be a NCG played at a host city not associated with any of the above or any other bowls. Jerry World, Houston, and Minnesota's new stadium yet to be built or on the radar for the NCG.
In the first year of this CFP world, The Rose and Sugar are the Semifinal games. Meaning the rest of the 4 games are CFP games similar to current non NCG BCS games.
The B1G and SEC get two auto bids into the CFP.
PAC and B1G champ get auto bids to the Rose, unless the Rose hosts the NCG, at that point, the selection committee will place them in a replacement CFP bowl unless they qualify for the Semis
The SEC and Big 12 champs will play in the Sugar Bowl. setting up an identical scenario for what the Rose has had for 100 years with the PAC and B1G. And of course, if the Big12 champ qualifies for a semifinal spot, their Sugar Bowl bid goes to an at large. Possibly another Big12 team if they qualify.
The ACC gets an auto bid to the Orange Bowl following the same scenarios above should that conference qualify for the Semifinals.
Semifinal and NATTY Locations
2014 Rose / Sugar NATTY Jerry World
2015 Orange / Fiesta NATTY TBA
2016 Cotton / Peach NATTY TBA
Bowl Selection Process * all depending on what 4 teams from what conferences are chosen for Semfinals
7 auto bids and 5 at large including a mandatory best non aq champion (highest ranked)
THE CFP
Rose: B1G #1 vs PAC #1
Sugar: SEC #1 vs Big 12 #1
Orange: SEC #2 vs ACC #1/ B1G #2 or Notre Dame
Cotton / Fiesta / Peach will have the 5 at large teams plus one auto qualifier.
Keep in mind, when one of the above CFP bowl games is a semifinal matchup, the auto conference bids do not apply.
Have fun in 2014. It will make more sense then.
