COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

January 7, 20198 p.m. ET, ESPN

Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.

The College Football Playoff (CFP) is a big success. Fans, including many who are new to the sport, enjoy it. The first College Football Playoff semi-finals and national championship were the three most-viewed programs in cable television history.

Every Game CountsThe playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college foot-

ball’s unique regular season where every game counts.

Four TeamsThe selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evalu-

ation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference champion-ships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents to decide among teams that are comparable.

Two Games, One GoalThe kickoff of the new year belongs to college football, with two semifi-

nal games rotating annually among the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The two teams winning the playoff semifinals compete for the College Football Playoff National Championship. That game is in a different city each year, always on a Monday night.

Universal AccessEvery FBS team has equal access to the College Football Playoff based

on its performance. No team automatically qualifies.

GovernanceUniversity presidents and chancellors from all 10 FBS conferences and

Notre Dame serve on the CFP Board of Managers and govern the admin-istrative operations, with commissioners (the Management Committee) managing the event. A small staff in the playoff office in Irving, Texas, carries out the detailed responsibilities.

Selection CommitteeA talented group of high-integrity individuals with experience as coach-

es, student-athletes, college administrators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors, comprise the selection committee. Members of the committee are: Rob Mullens (chair), Frank Beamer, Paola Boivin, Jeff Bower, Joe Castiglione, Herb Deromedi, Ken Hatfield, Chris Howard, Bobby Johnson, Ronnie Lott, Gene Smith, Todd Stansbury, and Scott Stricklin.

Selection Committee Responsibilities• Rank the top 25 teams and assign the top four to semifinal sites.• Assign teams to New Year’s bowls• Create competitive matchups• Attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat

appearances• Consider geography

Participants In New Year’s BowlsBoth participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls are contracted

outside the playoff arrange ment (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; SEC and Big 12 to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against the highest ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten and Notre Dame). If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, then the bowl will choose a replace-ment from that conference. When those bowls host the semifinals and their contracted conference champions do not qualify, then the dis placed champion(s) will play in one of the other New Year’s bowls.

When not hosting semifinals, the Cotton, Fiesta and Peach Bowls will welcome displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. The highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths. The selection committee will make the pairings.

BOWL PARTNERSHIPS

The American Bowl Lineup

In addition to the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Bowls, The American has either a primary or secondary affiliation with 12 bowl games during its current six-year bowl cycle, which ends following the 2019 season. The American works annually with its member schools and bowl partners to create the most sensible and attrac-tive postseason matchups.

The Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman takes place at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, while the events and activities sur-rounding the game are based in Washington, D.C. The American Athletic Conference will face an opponent from the Atlantic Coast Conference each year in the current cycle.

The Birmingham Bowl takes place at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. The American/Big East has partnered with the bowl since its inception in the 2006 season. The American Athletic Conference will annually face an opponent from the Southeastern Conference.

The Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl is played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The American Athletic Conference will supply a team to the bowl during each year of the six-year cycle. Conference USA will play in the game in 2015, 2017 and 2019, while the Atlantic Coast Conference provides the opposing team in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

The Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl began in 2014 and will feature an American Athletic Conference team three times during the six-year cycle at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. The American representative will play a team from Conference USA in 2018.

The Frisco Bowl will be played for the second time in 2018 as the former Miami Beach Bowl was relocated to Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. An American Athletic Conference plays in the bowl each year.

The AutoNation Cure Bowl made its debut in 2015 at the newly renovated Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. An American Athletic Conference team will be paired against an opponent from the Sun Belt Conference. Net proceeds from the game will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl is played at Amon G. Carter Stadium on the campus of Texas Christian University. The American Athletic Conference sends a team to the bowl in 2014, 2016 and 2018. The opponent will be a Big 12 team in 2016 and 2018, with Conference USA as a secondary affiliation.

In addition to the conference’s primary bowl affiliations, The American holds sec-ondary partnerships with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, and the Duck Commander Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, as well as with other ESPN-owned bowls.
