Football Bowl Subdivision conference commissioners, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick and other college football officials Thursday agreed to only take "two to seven" playoff proposals -- each involving four teams -- back to their respective university presidents, athletic directors and coaches to discuss for the next five to seven weeks to determine the sport's future national champions. This eliminates eight-team and 16-team playoff proposals.The BCS said in a statement...

quote:
"Having carefully reviewed calendars and schedules, we believe that either an eight-team or a 16-team playoff would diminish the regular season and harm the bowls," "College football's regular season is too important to diminish and we do not believe it's in the best interest of student-athletes, fans, or alumni to harm the regular season."

BCS officials and conference commissioners are scheduled to meet in Chicago again in June.

4 team playoff is better than a top 2 ranking.

Still gonna cause controversy. Should be an 8-team playoff.

If people bitch about 2 SEC teams getting in the final 4 then they obviously have the opportunity to prove their worth by beating us. Hasn't happened very often in title games though, so they should shut their mouth until they prove something on the field.

I agree with TheCaterpillar. It really isn't that difficult!

I'll believe it when I see it.
If 2 SEC teams don't get in, SEC will bitch. If 2 SEC teams do get in, other conferences will bitch. Better than what we have though

every rational person has been saying this for years. 4 team playoff. Keep all the bowls. 4 v 1, 2 v 3 in two BCS games that rotate, then the championship game. BCS still picks rankings and everyone is happy. NOT THAT HARD.
