 With the anticipated arrival of a four-team playoff to determine the national championship in 2014, college football is getting ready to enter a new world order.
The SEC and the Big 12 staked out a big chunk of real estate in that world on Friday by announcing a five-year agreement for their champions to meet in a Jan. 1 bowl game that will be determined at a later date. The first game will be Jan. 1, 2015.
If one or both of the champions are in the four-team playoff, then "another deserving team" from those conferences would get the slot.
In the 14 years of the BCS, either the SEC or the Big 12 champion has been in the title game 11 times. They have met twice for the BCS title -- after the 2008 (Florida-Oklahoma) and 2009 (Alabama-Texas) seasons.
