So, how does this work with the playoff?
Are the two semifinal games separate from this?
So, we get to watch the 3rd place team from the SEC blow out the Big XII champion every year in the Sugar Bowl? Is that how it will work? Sounds good. It is much better than the 2nd place SEC team playing Cincinnati or something like that.

6 sites will be chosen as rotating semifinals. The Rose/Sugar will be paired the same year every 3 years.
In years when it is the semifinals, this game is off. In years when it is not, the SEC and Big 12 will pick the top team not involved in the playoff to play. It's not ever going to be an elite game because of it, but it will generate $80m in tv revenue plus what New Orleans bid to host it.
I was told that it was agreed that the Big 12 will not get an equal share if they do not have a conf championship game which is why they will probably expand.
