Other Trivia:<br />
- The playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college football’s unique<br />
regular season where every game counts.<br />
- The selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the<br />
teams’ performance on the field, using conference championships won, strength of<br />
schedule, head- to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents<br />
to decide among teams that are comparable.<br />
- The two teams winning the playoff semifinals compete for the College Football Playoff<br />
National Championship. That game is in a different city each year, always on a Monday<br />
night.<br />
