Talk:College Football Playoff/FAQ

Q: So what's the deal with the name of the Peach Bowl? Why doesn't it include its sponsor, Chick-fil-A?

A: News reports say that the CFP is mandating that its bowls cannot go "solely by a corporate name"[1], that the organizers want the names "to be parallel"[2] and must include a "traditional moniker"[3], so that's what we're going with here as well.

Q: Why does the Peach Bowl have the sponsor, Chick-fil-A in the title? It should either be no sponsors in the name, or all of them having sponsors in the name.

A: This is generally correct, but in this case it is a special circumstance. Per this ESPN source and the College Football Playoff official site, the commissioners wanted unity with the bowl names. But the former Chick-fil-A Bowl did not want to change their name, so in order to compromise with the bowl members and the commissioners, they agreed to have Chick-fil-A be officially part of the bowl name. Thus, it is the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, or shortened to Chick-fil-A Peach, not Peach. Notably, in the ESPN source, we look to the final two paragraphs, where it is noted as the Chick-fil-A Peach, against the other bowls without their sponsor names.
