Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football will enter a new era when a postseason playoff will begin. The format is simple: top four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games, and a national championship game played in a different city each year. Each semifinal will be played during the New Year's holiday with the national championship game in prime time on a Monday night at least a week later.
A selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on their performance during the regular season, including, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, championships won, and other factors. The teams will be seeded so that #1 will play #4 in one semifinal and #2 will meet #3 in the other, with the winners advancing to the national championship game.
Those 2 paragraphs came straight from the collgeplayoff website. Now, with it only being a 4 team playoff, I guarantee people will still call BS alot if their team doesnt get selected into the top 4 spots. So there will still be sort of a BCS selection process during the season to get the top 4 spots, after that then its truely a playoff.
