re: BCS "fix" question - the "+1"

College Football is truly unique from all of the other sports. Each year seems to end with a unique scenario. There doesn't seem to be one system that will "get it right" 100% of the time.

If we had a +1 system this year (aka, a 4 team playoff), who would have been chosen? LSU, Bama, Okie St., and ... Stanford? Va Tech? Boise St? (an undefeated Houston, if they had won?), (a one loss Oregon, if they had won?). There would still be the need for the BCS poll system, with coaches pimping for their school, coaches manipulating their votes, Harris voters being dumbasses, ESPN pimping for their favorite high profile teams, and super-secret computer polls that are super-retarded.

Other years would have different issues.

It would be difficult to create, but I think there should be an "if needed" type variable system, with a selction committee (like in college baseball and basketball). The selection committee would not only choose which teams would participate, but would also choose the type of playoff that would be suitable for that season's end of the year scenario.

This year, a three team playoff would probable be best, with Bama and Okie State facing off, while LSU would get a bye.
