re: BCS has achieved consensus on 4-team seeded playoff.

I think you should take the committee and break the committee into 8 specific members whose only job is to watch all games from Conference X and submit detailed reports to each member and maybe release the "notes" each week to help the public determine where each team stands. Use the AP Poll, Harris Poll, ESPN Poll, and some computer form (Sagarin possibly) to find a number. Then have the committee meet at end of thanksgiving weekend. The one thing they need is to have accountability and openness to make this thing work.

Again though, this will not determine the best team, just the one that can win 2 more games.
