This game won't be a national semifinal when it pits the Big 12 and SEC though, and it will likely only be a semifinal in 2 of the 12 years, just like the Rose Bowl.
The $80MM TV rights contract will apply when the two conferences meet outside of the playoff system. That's how the conferences will be able to keep all the money themselves.
