LAS COLINAS, Texas – The College Football Playoff is still camouflaged by vague terminology to the point where that there's only one truism.

Whom you play matters.

What's evident at this week's playoff meetings at the Four Seasons Las Colinas is the intricacies of this process – and how teams are judged in unique situations – will simply have to wait.

Even for those embroiled in the game.

for those that think that New Years day will have a ton of games:
PLANNING THE PLAYOFF PROGRAMMING: ESPN brought several executives to the playoff meetings as it outlines its nearly $6-billion playoff investment.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day will feature six playoff games, including the two semifinal games, and ESPN wants those games “packaged very tightly together,” ESPN senior vice president of programming acquisitions Burke Magnus said.

Which means, New Year's Day games such as Capital One Bowl or Gator Bowl must be reshuffled. ESPN and the bowl games are evaluating that process.

“When the semifinals rotate through the six it's not an unknown quantity – that's important to us from a packaging and branding standpoint,” Magnus said.

The network will plan programming around whatever information the selection committee has to share during the season, Magnus said.

“There's going to be a different cadence to the information,” Magnus said.


you can say good bye to the Cap One and bowls like that on New Years day or New Years eve. As we've known pretty much all along....

Delany's rep is he asks for more than he wants so you will give in and give him all he wants.

Good to see our AD in the picture .. :)
