I know it will be hosting playoff games occasionally. I also know the ACC will no longer have an affiliation with the Peach after 2013. What I don't know is the following:

1. In years where the Peach is not the host for a playoff game, will it still host a bowl game? If so, what is the selection process or conference affiliations?

2. In years where the Peach is the host of a playoff game (or the national championship game) will it host a traditional bowl game as well?

I find it hard to believe the Peach will just throw in the towel when it is not hosting a playoff game. Too much potential revenue.
 
My understanding was that no bowls will host playoff games or national title games. So if the a semifinal was held in Miami, the Orange Bowl would still occur that year. Same with the Peach Bowl and Atlanta.

They are working on a deal that would match the SEC's highest paid team and the NFL's lowest paid team. Should be exciting.
 
They need to create a second bowl played the day after xmas and have the traditional acc/sec matchup.

No this is not true.

Peach bowl will host whatever the playoff committee decides in years it's not a semi final. So no conference ties and committee decides both playoff and several other bowls.

So it will be similar to current BCS bowls? Is the official conference tie-in still ACC-SEC?

Yes similar to bcs
No ties in the case of peach bowl (beyond the committee respecting travel distance or something like that)

1. Peach Bowl when not hosting semis, will more than likely have a matchup of 'best team from GROUP OF FIVE' vs. At-large to be determined by selection committee or take the Sugar/Orange bowl matchups (when those bowls are hosting a semi.

For example:
Sugar - Semi #1, Rose - Semi #2,
Orange - ACC vs ND/SEC/BIG TEN

Cotton, Fiesta, Peach will take one these matchups to replace the bowls hosting a semi.
- BIG TEN vs PAC-12
- Big 12 vs SEC
- Group of FIVE vs At large

2. No

This doesn't make any sense. If the 6 bowls in the rotation are hosting a semi that year, then they will not host their regular game. If Orange is a semi, they will not have the regular ORANGE Bowl matchup, but a semi matchup of #1 vs #4 or #2 vs #3. One of the other bowls in the playoff rotation will take the "traditional" Orange Bowl matchup.
 
Also, in years when the Playoff/Host Bowls are hosting a semi, they cannot bid to host the Nat'l Championship.
 
Since there is no official PEACH BOWL anymore (its now the Chik Fil A (duh)), can we have a new bowl called the Peach Bowl at BDS?
 
IMO, the Bowls and Playoffs should be completely separate processes.

Whats the benefit using existing bowls as playoffs.

If there is a playoff game at the Rose Bowl, will there be an actual "Rose Bowl" game?

I think it makes some sense -- this is what occurs with the national title game currently. It seems that's not how the semi finals will work though.

looks like the 2013 version is still officially called The Chick-fil-A Bowl

Date, Time set for 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl
Atlanta’s bowl game boasts top ACC and SEC teams, unopposed time slot on ESPN
ATLANTA (March 27, 2013) – College football fans will once again be ringing in the new year with the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Officials from the Chick-fil-A Bowl today announced that the 46th annual rivalry game between the ACC and SEC will be played Tuesday, Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. EST in the Georgia Dome. This will mark the 22nd New Year’s Eve edition of Atlanta’s bowl game and the ninth in the last 12 years.

The game will feature the first selection from the ACC (after the BCS) against a strong SEC opponent and will be nationally telecast by ESPN, running unopposed in its prime time slot.

“We’ve really developed an unbeatable formula matching the ACC and SEC on ESPN in prime time on New Year’s Eve,” said Gary Stokan, Chick-fil-A Bowl president and CEO. “Across the board, these partnerships with the ACC, SEC, ESPN and Chick-fil-A have made us into the bowl we are today with college football and the fans getting to reap the rewards.”

Lets be clear here: The BCS = Cartel: LINK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel

The below link includes a good write-up (under BCS section) of how the BCS "system" has wrecked the traditional PAC12-B1G pairing of the Rose Bowl.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Bowl_Game

I cant see how the PAC12 nor B1G can be happy with their traditional conference roles in the Rose Bowl (and the Rose Bowl $$$), being basically super-ceded and displaced by some dubious "selection committee" rules.

IMO, the PAC12 & B1G have allowed an "unaffiliated" committee/organization called the BCS to displace the PAC12 & B1G's long-standing roles in that bowl.

For example, in January 2011, it was profoundly stupid to send Stanford (PAC12 #2) all the way to Miami to play in the Orange Bowl vs VT, rather than send Stanford to play in the Rose Bowl. Instead, the F-ed up BCS rules ended up sending a non-PAC12 TCU team to the Rose Bowl. IMO, totally F-ing stupid. Stanford SHOULD have gone to Rose and TCU to the Orange. How can the PAC12 be happy about that?

Why is Jim Delaney, and especially Larry Scott, just "rolling over" on this issue?

Why is it necessary to use ANY combination of bowls for ANY kind of playoff system?

Seems simple enough. If youre not in the "playoffs" you go to a bowl.

If GT is the ACC Champ but not ranked in the Top 4, and the Orange Bowl is hosting a semi-game, where does GT go bowling? GT will have been "denied" the Orange Bowl and the Orange Bowl $$$.

IMO, the football factories are simply co-opting the bowls, to deny other teams the chance to play in top tier bowls and collect the bowl $$$.

As I said...BCS = Cartel.

In this situation, GT will go to one of the other bowls not in the semi. Whichever bowl the selection committee selects to have the "Orange Bowl matchup" of ACC vs ND/SEC/BIG TEN. It could be the Fiesta, Cotton, or Peach. More than likely it will be the Peach due to travel and proximity. The ACC/GT will still get their fair share of the playoff $.

You do realize that the schools in a conference share the bowl payouts, right?

There can't be. The problem stems from the schedule. The playoff games are all basically the same day as the bowls traditionally were.

May not be a huge deal for an artificial field (would just have to schedule an afternoon game and a night game and clean up in between) but would be a big deal for natural grass. Could also mess with TV (if broadcasted on different networks), etc.
