Some key take aways:
- A Committee of 13 now decides the 4 teams that will be in the playoffs.
- There is not a limit on how many teams from which conference can be in the playoff.
- The 6 bowls used in the new playoff system will rotate, (Orange, Sugar, Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, Peach).
- The 3 bowls not used that year as the Semi or Championship will be be played on or after Jan 1.
- The host city for the Championship will rotate and cities are bidding now for the upcoming years.
- The first Championship will be at Jerry World on Jan 12, 2015.
- The teams will have a minimum of 6 days to prepare b/w the Semi and the Championship.
- Clem5on will no longer benefit from the BCS welfare system that allowed weak conferences to send teams to the New Years 6 Bowl Games. Most likely the Top 12 teams in the country in the AP and Coaches Poll will be invited.

Cities are bidding to host the playoff but the playoff will rotate?!
Are they bidding for the initial order and after that it's set?

Clemson will still have the chance in years when Orange Bowl is not a semifinal site to back into that bowl if FSU is a playoff participant. The ACC needs to become a 3-4 team league. As long as it stays a 2 team league they will still get some welfare!
