was listening to Sirius 91 and the host was talking about how the BCS most likely will take baby steps to a playoff and potentially would adopt a +1 model with conference championship as a prerequisite for championship game participation.

It got me to thinking - what would a +1 accomplish if, say LSU were to win against BAMA under a +1 scenario? Would you really make LSU play ANOTHER game to be named champion?



The only logical "fix" that would work this year is Okie State and Bama playing to see who faces LSU.

Even that's sort of an injustice to LSU, anything else would be much more of one.

Exactly. This is what a +1 means. The 1v4 and 2v3 scenarios are a playoff. A +1 system is objective to the situation at hand, which means that if only 2 teams were undefeated, there would be no additional game, just the 1 championship game between the two.
