Here’s How the College Football Champion Will Be Crowned

Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football begins the postseason playoff era. The format: four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games and a national championship game. The semifinals will rotate among six bowls: Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Rose and Sugar. Each semifinal will be played during the New Year's holiday with the national title game on a Monday night at least a week later.
