### College Football Playoff and National Championship Game

[edit]

Part of this section is transcluded from 2022–23 College Football Playoff. (edit | history)

The College Football Playoff system is used to determine a national championship of Division I FBS college football. A 13-member committee of experts ranked the top 25 teams in the nation after each of the last seven weeks of the regular season. The top four teams in the final ranking are then seeded in a single-elimination semifinal round, with the winners advancing to the National Championship game.

The semifinal games for the 2022 season were the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl. Both were played on December 31, 2022, as part of a yearly rotation of three pairs of two bowls, commonly referred to as the New Year's Six bowl games. The winners advanced to the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 9, 2023.

The College Football Playoff semifinal games are determined based on the top four seeds in the playoff committee's final rankings.

## Venues

[edit]

A total of thirty-seven venues will be utilized, with seven of them in particular for the CFP National Championship and New Year's Six (NY6).[22] Prestige and capacity of venues usually increases as the schedule progresses towards to NY6 bowls and the national championship, in large part due to scheduling Top 25 teams late into the bowl games' time frame, while bowl games before Christmas Day typically involve schools in Group of Five conferences and FBS Independents (with the exception of Notre Dame due to being a member of the ACC in all other sports except for men's hockey which competes in the Big Ten). Televising at the venues of bowl games is largely run by ESPN and joint networks (ABC & ESPN2), with only three bowl games run by a non-affiliated network (Holiday Bowl on Fox, Sun Bowl on CBS and Arizona Bowl on Barstool Sports).[23] With the exception of the Bahamas Bowl in The Bahamas,[24] all bowls will be played within the United States.

2. ^ Dates exclude all-star games.
3. ^ Despite having a 5–7 record, Rice was bowl-eligible due to having the highest Academic Progress Rate among five-win teams.[18][19]
4. ^ Despite having a 6–6 record with 2 wins over FCS teams, the NCAA granted a waiver for New Mexico State to be bowl-eligible due to their canceled game against San Jose State.[20]
5. ^ Despite having a 6–6 record, Appalachian State was bowl-ineligible as two of their wins were over FCS teams.
