**The Ultimate Guide to the College Football Playoff: What RV Travelers Need to Know**
The College Football Playoff (CFP) has a way of pulling fans in every year. RV travelers, honestly, might just have the best seat in the house—on wheels, no less.
This post dives into the latest CFP updates and offers tips for RV folks heading to the big games. We’ll cover playoff basics and travel hacks, so you can focus on the fun parts.
Understanding the College Football Playoff Structure
The CFP decides the national champ for NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Four teams make the cut, chosen by a committee. They play two semifinals and then the championship game.
Each year, the semifinals rotate through six big bowls: Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Fiesta, and Peach. Keeps things interesting, right?
Selection Process
A committee of 13 people picks the teams. They look at things like strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and who won their conferences.
Every week, they release rankings, so fans can argue (and stress) all season long.
Semifinal Bowl Games
Two of the New Year’s Six bowls host the semifinals each year. For example, the Peach and Fiesta Bowls hosted in 2025.
These games aren’t just about football—they’re a whole experience for RVers, with lots of energy and plenty to do.
Planning Your RV Trip to a College Football Playoff Game
Watching a CFP game from your RV? That’s next-level fandom. It mixes game-day hype with the freedom to just pick up and go.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan:
Choosing the Right RV Park
How close is the RV park to the stadium? That’s key. Look for parks with shuttle service, full hookups, Wi-Fi, and security if you can swing it.
Popular spots book up fast, so don’t wait too long to reserve your space.
Game Day Preparations
Stock your RV with food, drinks, and all your team swag before game day. If you want a good tailgating spot, get there early.
Most stadiums have RV parking with tailgating zones and fan areas, which really adds to the vibe.
Maximizing Your Game Day Experience
Want to squeeze every drop out of your CFP trip? Here’s what helps:
Participate in Tailgating
Tailgating is half the fun. Bring your favorite snacks and drinks, and fire up the grill if you’ve got one.
Chat with other fans—sometimes, those conversations are as memorable as the game.
Attend Fan Events
Host cities usually put on events like pep rallies, concerts, or team meet-and-greets before the game. These are worth checking out.
It’s a good way to get into the local spirit and build up the excitement before kickoff.
Post-Game Activities
Once the game’s over, why rush off? Stick around and see what the city has to offer.
There’s often more to explore, from museums and historical sites to great food and outdoor adventures.
Exploring the Local Area
Your RV gives you the flexibility to wander. Maybe you’ll hit a national park, find a local brewery, or stroll through a historic neighborhood.
There’s usually something unexpected nearby if you’re willing to look.
Reflecting on the Game
Afterward, swap stories with other RVers about the game. Whether your team took the trophy or not, these trips stick with you.
