The playoff games will rotate between two out of the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton, Fiesta, and Peach.
Rose still has Big Ten/Pac-12, Sugar will be SEC/Big 12, Orange has the ACC champ, and then the next highest of the SEC or Big Ten or Notre Dame. The other three are all at-larges, but will include the highest ranked champ out of the "Group of 5", aka the mid-major conferences. When a certain bowl hosts a playoff game, the teams that normally play that game would be moved to one of the other bowls. Like when VT won the ACC in 2004, but the Orange Bowl was the national championship, so we went to the Sugar Bowl instead.
In some ways, the CFP games will be like the BCS Bowls prior to 2006, when they added the extra championship game.
I never understood why people thought that playoffs would mean the end of bowls. We still have plenty of bowls outside of the BCS.

The antiquated and corrupted bowl system begins an inexorable slide into irrelevancy and eventual disinterest as fans and college administrators become aware of the potential that a 16 team playoff allowing the top 10 percent of D1 CFB teams to determine a true champion finally becomes a reality...
Dreaming is free, right French?

Teams that don't make it to a playoff will play in the bowls as normal I believe...
And teams that are in the 4 team playoff will play in a rotation of 2 bowls in 6(?) top tier ones.
will there still be the big bowls? like rose, sugar, orange, and fiesta?
Yes, just not on years that they host a playoff game, I believe.
