College Football Playoff will be the name of the four-team playoff to decide the 2014 NCAA national champion, ESPN.com reported on Wednesday. The playoff system will go into effect after the 2014 regular season.
Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be the sight of the college football playoff's first national championship, to be held Jan. 12, 2015, sources told ESPN. Also, the Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-Fil-A bowls will join the Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls in the six-bowl semifinal rotation for the new playoff, sources said.
The site of the title game in the first season of the new format was discussed Tuesday by BCS commissioners, a source said. Tampa, Fla., was the only other city to bid for the game other than Arlington.
Since it's opening in 2009, Cowboys Stadium has hosted many of sport's biggest events, including the Super Bowl, the Big-12 championship and the NBA All-Star Game. In 2014, the stadium will also be the site of the NCAA basketball national championship.
