The teams that participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision earn the right to compete in a series of post-season games called bowl games. As of 2015, there are 40 bowl games (not counting National Championship Game), and all are contractually obligated to offer bids to specific conferences, a situation known as a "tie-in". The "top" six bowl games ("New Year's Six") in the nation select their teams as part of the College Football Playoff (CFP), which was put into place for a minimum of 12 years, beginning with the 2014 season. Prior to 2014, the top five games in the country were chosen under the system known as the Bowl Championship Series. The bowls outside of the CFP, have individual contracts with the conferences to offer preferential bids to teams from those conferences. As long as teams are bowl eligible, they may be selected by these bowls to meet these contracts. ==College Football Playoff== (詳細はRose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, and College Football Championship Game. For the 2014-15 season, the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will serve as national semifinals for the 2015 College Football Championship Game in Arlington, Texas, meaning that the teams ranked #1 through #4 in the College Football playoff rankings will play in those two bowls, with the winner advancing to the national championship. Twelve schools are selected for the major bowls. These include the champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Pacific-12 Conference and Southeastern Conference. The highest-ranked champion from the "Group of Five" conferences (American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, and Sun Belt) is guaranteed a berth if the group's top team is not in the playoff. The following tie-ins exist for bowls in the years they are not hosting the national semifinals: * Rose Bowl — Big Ten #1 vs. Pac-12 #1 * Sugar Bowl — SEC #1 vs. Big 12 #1 * Orange Bowl — ACC #1 vs. SEC #2, Big Ten #2, or Notre Dame * Cotton Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five" (committee selection) * Fiesta Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five" (committee selection) * Peach Bowl — at-large or "Group of Five" (committee selection) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Automatic bids to college bowl games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
