College football is one of the most recognizable entities in the American Sports, but it progressed more from today's announcement at the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee Meeting than any other event in its long history. College football features the greatest fan bases, game day experiences, and regular seasons, but has struggled to properly setup a postseason to determine the National Champion. Although playoffs determine the champion in every other NCAA Division 1 sport, college football has always relied on multiple polls and bowl series to determine its champion.It was evident for the past few months that FBS postseason football was headed for a transformation, but today's confirmation excited fans and prepared them for a new chapter in the storied history of the sport. Here are the top components of today's announcement:
1. Fifteen members of a selection committee (consisting of current commissioners, athletic directors, and possibly media members or former coaches) will examine win-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and conference champions in determining the four members of the playoff.
2. Six predetermined bowl games will rotate in and out each year (depending on conference affiliation) to host the semifinal match-ups on New Year's Day and the highest bidding American city will host the National Championship Game the following week.
3. College football will use this four-team playoff system from 2014-2026 with possible expansion in the future.
