How do the FBS college football playoffs work and how do the bowl games tie into that?
The FBS college football playoffs are a series of games that determine the national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The playoffs consist of four rounds, with the top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings participating in the semifinals. The winners of the semifinals then advance to the national championship game.
The bowl games tie into the playoffs in two ways. First, the six highest-ranked teams in the College Football Playoff rankings that do not make the playoffs are invited to participate in New Year's Six bowl games. These games are the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, and the Peach Bowl.
Second, the remaining FBS teams are invited to participate in one of 39 other bowl games. These games are typically played between teams from different conferences.
The bowl games are an important part of the FBS college football season. They provide an opportunity for teams to finish the season with a victory and to earn a berth in a prestigious bowl game. The bowl games also help to determine the final College Football Playoff rankings.
