The presidential oversight committee approved a proposal that will allow the playoffs to consist of four teams instead of the only two teams that play in the championship game. The four team playoff will begin in 2014 and will continue through the 2025 season. Teams will be chosen by a selection committee and the semifinals will be held at current bowl sites with the championship game being awarded to the highest bidder.
The proposal for the four team playoff was put together by several conference commissioners and was voted on by a board of twelve university presidents. The presidents also endorsed a rotation of the semifinal games among six bowl sites and a rotation of the championship game among neutral sites. The Semifinals will be played on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day and the championship game will be held on "Championship Monday", which is the first Monday of January.
The two main topics that are still up in the air and will need to be worked out are how teams will be selected and how revenue will be distributed.
