The College Football Playoff system is used to determine a national championship of Division I FBS college football. This is the 11th year of the College Football Playoff era. For the 2024–25 season, the playoffs were expanded from four teams to 12 teams.
A committee of experts ranked the top 25 FBS teams after each of the last six weeks of the regular season. Upon release of the final rankings, the top five ranked conference champions were selected to compete, along with the seven highest ranked remaining teams. The top four conference champions received a first-round bye.
The first round of games were played at campus sites on December 20 and 21, 2024. The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds will be played at the New Year's Six bowl games.[3][4] The quarterfinal games will be played on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, at the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. The semifinal games will be played on January 9 and 10, 2025, at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl. The winners will advance to the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 20, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.[5]

Non-CFP bowl games
[edit]Several changes, as compared to the 2023–24 bowl season, were announced:
- The Holiday Bowl changed venues, from Petco Park to Snapdragon Stadium.[6]
- The Cure Bowl also changed venues, from FBC Mortgage Stadium to Camping World Stadium.[7]
- On October 8, 2024, strategic investment company GameAbove, through its GameAbove Sports brand, was announced as the new title sponsor for the Quick Lane Bowl, renaming it the GameAbove Sports Bowl.[8]
- On October 15, 2024, military contractor Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S) was announced as the new title sponsor of the Camellia Bowl, with the game being renamed as the Salute to Veterans Bowl.[9]
- On October 17, 2024, the Guaranteed Rate Bowl was renamed as the Rate Bowl, due to a rebranding by its title sponsor, as Guaranteed Rate became simply Rate.[10]
† Pac–12 legacy selection: team played in the Pac-12 Conference in 2023 and their bowl conference tie-in is based on that.[12]
Division I FCS bowl game
[edit]The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) has one bowl game, the Celebration Bowl. Played between HBCUs, it serves as a de facto Black college football national championship. The FCS also has a postseason bracket tournament that culminates in the 2025 NCAA Division I Football Championship Game.

Division II bowl games
[edit]Two bowl games were held which featured teams that did not qualify for the Division II postseason tournament. This is down from four bowl games in the previous season, as the Live United Texarkana Bowl went defunct and the Florida Beach Bowl was not held for 2024 due to funding issues.[13] Additionally, a regular season conference game between North Greenville and Shorter was postponed due to Hurricane Helene; it was rescheduled for the first week of the Division II postseason, restructured as a quasi-bowl game and dubbed the "Helene Relief Bowl".[14]

Conference performance in bowl games
[edit]CFP bowl games are denoted in bold type. First-round CFP playoff games are included, and denoted as CFP1.
To be determined—two berths in each of Cotton, Orange, and National Championship.
Notes
[edit]- ^ 11 College Football Playoff (CFP) games, 35 non-CFP FBS bowl games, and 1 FCS bowl game. This count includes the four CFP first-round playoff games.
- ^ Dates reflect Division I team-competitive bowl games, and exclude all-star games and bowl games in lower divisions.
- ^ The championship game was originally scheduled to be played at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, but was moved due to a scheduling conflict with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
- ^ Marshall withdrew from the Independence Bowl due to a large number of players entering the NCAA transfer portal.[25]
- ^ There are 35 traditional season-ending bowl games providing berths for 70 teams. The CFP places 12 teams into a bracket tournament (8 teams in first-round games, and 4 teams directly into quarterfinal games). Thus, a total of 82 teams (70 + 12) fulfill these postseason competitions.
- ^ Kennesaw State is bowl ineligible due to their transition from FCS to FBS; having posted a losing record, the Owls would be bowl ineligible regardless.
- ^ Louisiana Tech was named as a participant in the Independence Bowl following the withdrawal of Marshall.[26]
- ^ Hawaii has two wins against FCS teams, Delaware State and Northern Iowa. Only one win against an FCS school may be counted towards bowl eligibility. However, with a losing record, the Rainbow Warriors would be bowl ineligible regardless.
- ^ UMass has two wins against FCS teams, Central Connecticut and Wagner. Only one win against an FCS school may be counted towards bowl eligibility. However, with a losing record, the Minutemen would be bowl ineligible regardless.
