Can someone explain the "contract" bowl and "host" bowl


Nov 12, 2012, 10:01 PM

Crap and how conference champions tie in. I'm just not grasping it for some reason right now.

The Rose, new Champions Bowl, and Orange Bowl

are "contract" bowls in that they have obligations to respective conferences in terms of who plays in them. The three remaining bowls that will make up the 6-bowl semi-final rotation do not have those obligations.

The new Champions Bowl is no more. It will be the Sugar Bowl***

The way I read it was contract bowls will have contracts with conferences. Host bowls will have to pick from the 5 other conferences and at large teams.

So conferences with contracts will have their champion in the playoff automatically? That's what I'm not understanding.

The new deal guarantees that at least one conference


Nov 12, 2012, 10:30 PM

champion from the conferences that are not part of the contracted bowls will get a spot in one of the host bowls at the very least. Two of the six bowls will host semi-finals based on the four teams that the selection committee puts in, leaving four other games to be filled. Of those four remaining games, at least one mid-major champion is guaranteed a spot in one every year.

Don't think so

Pretty sure these "champions" bowls lie outside of the playoff.

Think it was done to promote a step towards playoffs, but also, and perhaps more importantly to assure conferences of a marquis big money game in case their conference champion wasn't in the top 4 and in the playoff.

If your conference champion makes it to the playoffs, it is just next man up to fill the spot. It seems to be very similar to what we currently have with the BCS, but people were preemptive in guaranteeing such traditional games such as the Rose (Big 10 v Pac 12), just in case they were eradicated or format changed dramatically for the playoffs. At least that is what I took from it.
