Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p "The College Football Playoff (CFP) is an annual postseason tournament in American college football for the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The playoff began with the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Four teams play in two semifinal games, and the winners advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship.The semifinals are scheduled on two consecutive days, including New Year's Day. The championship final is played on the first Monday that is six or more days after the semifinals. The winner is awarded the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy. The CFP is the first time the top-level NCAA football championship has been determined by a bracket competition. A 13-member committee selects and seeds the four teams to take part. This differs from the use of computer rankings or polls to select the participants for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), FBS college football's title system from 1998 to 2013. The new format is a Plus-One system, an idea which became popular as an alternative to the BCS after the 2003 and 2004 seasons ended in controversy.The College Football Playoff is not an officially sanctioned championship event by the NCAA, the sport's governing body. Because of this, Division I FBS football is the only NCAA sport in which a yearly champion is not determined by an NCAA championship event and an official NCAA National Championship is not given.The game's venue is selected based on bids submitted by cities, similar to the Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four. Playoff officials commissioned a new trophy that was unconnected with the previous championship systems (such as the AFCA "crystal football" trophy which had been regularly presented after the championship game since the 1990s).The television broadcast rights to the playoff games are owned by ESPN through at least the 2025 season. The network reportedly paid $7.3 billion overall for the 12-year TV rights."@en }
