bottom bracket compatibility question...

One day I need to post pics of the bikes you guys have helped me fix-up/build... So here is my question: I just got a great deal on a brand new Scott CR1 10 road bike (2014). The only component I'm not 100% thrilled with is the generic Shimano compact crank. The front and rear derailleur are Ultegra 6700, and I would like to install an Ultegra Crankset. The current bottom bracket is a press fit Shimano. I haven't kept up with BB technology, so I don't know much about them. If I buy a new Ultegra crank, what BB do I use? Is the exterior bearing BB they say it pairs with going to work in the BB shell of a 2014 Scott CR1 10? I've replaced cranksets that use sqaure taper, Mega Exo, Hollowtech Shimano, and Octalink. It's been awhile since I've gotten a "modern" bike, so I'm a little out of my element here.
