So every year the big12 champ plays sec champ? Isn't the Sugar involved in the rotation for the NCAA championship game also. How would that work?

The SEC will likely very rarely play in this game as they will almost always begun the 4-team playoff. They'll also host the semi-finals every 4 years, so I don't know if they'll have both games that year. And I think the NCG will be a while different beast itself, with venues bidding for it like the Super Bowl rather than rotating. Im assuming there will be a stipulation that you can't host the semi and the final in the same year, though.


By the way, how are we picking these 4 teams?

Here's an excerpt from the announcement:

quote:

The champions of the two conferences will be in the matchup unless one or both are selected to play in the new four-team model to determine the national championship. Should that occur, another deserving team from the conference(s) will be selected for the game. In the event that the bowl is selected as a semifinal game in the new BCS structure, the game would not host the SEC - Big 12 matchup in that year.


So it looks like only one 'Sugar Bowl' game per year.
