College Football Playoff national championship trophy unveiled



IRVING, Texas -- A rising, gold, football-shaped trophy will be the prize for the national champion in the new College Football Playoff.

College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock unveiled the more-than-2-foot-tall national championship trophy on Monday, saying it "will become an icon of our game."

Made from 24-karat gold, bronze and stainless steel, the bottom of the trophy is shaped like a football and rises to form an actual-sized ball at the top.

Hancock said the trophy, which weighs about 35 pounds, is designed to be hoisted from its foot-high base.
