As first reported by ESPN, the NCAA college football committee has agreed to a four-team playoff and is doing away with the “Bowl season”. This change will begin in 2014 and continue through the 2025 season. According to ESPN; The four teams will be chosen by a selection committee, the semifinals will be held at current bowl sites and the national championship game will be awarded to the highest bidder.
The 11 conference commissioners watched on Tuesday afternoon as Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick presented their proposal to a board of 12 university presidents. In about three hours, the group agreed upon a postseason that will change the landscape of college football. It is also a decision that will cause even more conversation when it is actually time to decide what team goes where according to strength of schedule and power rankings.
As of now, there will be three contract bowls — the Champions Bowl, which is a partnership between the Big 12 and SEC, the Rose Bowl, and a bowl to be determined for the ACC, which will more than likely still be the Orange Bowl.
The three other bowls, called “access bowls,” have not been determined yet.
