"We are extremely pleased to name Brian MacLellan the teams general manager and welcome Barry Trotz to Washington as the Capitals coach,” said owner Ted Leonsis in a release. “After conducting an extensive search for a general manager, we determined that Brian was the best candidate to help us reach our ultimate goal, winning the Stanley Cup. We have witnessed his abilities firsthand, and we have tremendous respect for how he manages people and situations. We feel he has relevant, in-depth knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of our franchise and will be forceful in addressing them. Brian always has displayed tremendous professionalism, passion and commitment to the Capitals. He has his own unique approach, and we are confident in his abilities to lead this organization to new heights."

The winners will play for the national championship on Jan. 12 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The playoffs replaced the oft-criticized BCS, which was in place from 1998 until last season. Controversy did not die with the old system. The 12-member committee had some tough decisions and there were big changes from last week. TCU fell from third to sixth despite a 55-3 rout of Iowa State on Saturday.

Alabama boasts 15 national championships and met the challenge of another difficult SEC season, while Ohio State has been a perennial power in the Big Ten and has seven national titles of its own. With all that, we have little doubt that this game will produce another memorable chapter in the great history of the Sugar Bowl. Oregon (12-1) pounded Arizona 51-13 Friday night in the Pac-12 title game. Led by quarterback Marcus Mariota, the Heisman Trophy favorite, the Ducks have also won eight straight games. Their only loss came Oct. 2 to Arizona. Obviously the inaugural year of the College Football Playoff is exciting for our team and our fans, and its that much more exciting to be at the Rose Bowl, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. The Seminoles (13-0) captured their third straight ACC title with a 37-35 win over Georgia Tech Saturday night.

Theyre unbelievably explosive at what they do. Both teams will have the same opportunity to learn each others tendencies, and its a chance for both coaches to put in things that break your tendencies. It will be the first-ever meeting between Florida State and Oregon, while Alabama is 3-0 all-time against Ohio State. The last time the teams met was at the Citrus Bowl in January 1995.
