The development suggests, for the first time, the order of a three-year playoff bowl rotation. The six-bowl playoff format beginning after the 2014 season will feature so-called "contract" bowls Orange, Sugar and Rose tied to conferences. The other three bowls will go to open or "access" bowls without conference affiliations. The Fiesta Bowl as well as venues in Dallas and Atlanta are considered favorites to get those three spots.

Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is largely assumed to be the site of the first championship of the playoff era in January 2015.


2015: Rose-Sugar

2016 or 2017: Orange-Fiesta

2016 or 2017: Dallas-Atlanta
