Though the specific language varies from contract to contract, head coaching deals at schools like LSU, Iowa State and Iowa all include bonuses for appearing in a New Year's Six bowl game or a CFP semifinal but haven't been revised as of late last week to include the first round of the CFP. This leaves some ambiguity about whether a first-round CFP appearance should be treated, for bonus purposes, like a regular bowl game or a New Year's Six bowl. In Kirk Ferentz's case at Iowa, that definition could mean a difference of $150,000.
