### Division I FBS bowl games

[edit]

#### College Football Playoff bowl Games

[edit]

The College Football Playoff system is used to determine a national championship of Division I FBS college football. A committee of experts will rank the top 25 teams in the nation after each of the last seven weeks of the regular season. This is the eleventh year of the College Football Playoff era.

For the 2024–25 season, the playoffs have been expanded from four teams to twelve teams. The top five ranked conference champions will be selected to compete, along with the seven highest ranked remaining teams. The top four conference champions will receive a first-round bye. The first round of games will be played at campus sites. The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds will be played at the New Year's Six bowl games.[3][4]

The four first-round games will be played on December 20 and 21, 2024, at campus sites. The quarterfinal games will be played on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, at the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. The semifinal games will be played on January 9 and 10, 2025, at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl. The winners will advance to the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 20, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.[5]
