The average revenue to the new playoff system over 12 years will be about $500 million per year. After $125-150 million in expenses, the five "major conferences" will split about 75 percent of the remaining money, for an approximate average payout of $250 million a year ($50 million per league) over the life of the contract. The mid-major "Group of Five" conferences will get around 25 percent, about $90 million a year ($18 million per league). Notre Dame will receive around one percent, about $3.5-4 million, and other FBS independents get about 0.5 percent of the deal.

Right off the top payouts before # of teams per conference is even established each year:
P5 (ACC/B12/B1G/PAC/SEC) = ~$50M to each conference per year
Go5 (AAC/CUSA/MAC/MWC/Sun) = ~$18M to each conference per year
ND = ~$3.5-4M per year
Other Indy (BYU/Army/Navy [for 2014]) = ~$1.75-2M (to split among themselves? this isn't 100% clear)

After these standard payouts from the TV revenue each conference will receive the aforementioned $4-6M additional per team it has in a NY6 or CFP semi-final game.

Again a previous paragraph lists that in some years contracted conferences will receive MUCH more from the TV revenue but it is unclear from the write up if that will drastically reduce the payout to the other P5/Go5/ND/Indy or just increase theirs....

At any rate every year BYU should receive (assuming they have to split with other Indy's) over $500K at minimum before they even receive their actual bowl payout. And if they go to a NY6 they should get an additional $4M and for a semi-final game they should get an additional $6M. And apparently there is no additional money according to this site for playing in a CFP championship game. So as far as money goes winning or losing a CFP semi-final game makes no difference....
