AP Source: College Football Playoff to replace BCS
By RALPH D. RUSSO (AP College Football Writer) | The Associated Press 8 minutes ago
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- The Bowl Championship Series will be replaced by the College Football Playoff.
A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press the new four-team playoff starting after the 2014 regular season will be called the College Football Playoff, and the conference commissioners will make it official with an announcement later Tuesday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the name was not to be released before then.
The major college football conference commissioners are holding three days of meetings in the Rose Bowl's backyard. They also will choose the remaining three sites for the six-bowl semifinal rotation in the new system, along with the site of the first championship game to be held Jan. 12, 2015.

You gotta read what Jerry Jones' blow buddy, Bob Stoops, said.
On edit: I misread it. It will start at the end of the 2014 season.
