If it was a plus 1 after the BCS then he's technically right. but it wouldn't happen that way. If there was a plus 1 in place, you would not have 1 and 2 play in a bowl. In a true plus one, this particular year, you would have had 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 most likley and the winners play. This year it works out since 2 of the top 4 didn't win a conference and could go anywhere, that's not always the case.

2010 for example in a plus one, you have Oregon play Wisky in the Rose and Auburn play maybe Stanford or TCU in the Sugar and the top 2 after that play for the title.

I think what is being proposed in a 4 team playoff.

Not sure why they keep referring to it as +1...it is really a four-team playoff (top 4 in BCS). Semifinals played at higher seeds' stadium, final played at neutral site. I love it.

+1 implies that you play the bowl games as we have always done, and then take top 2 teams after that. The problem is that there is no control of bowl matchups due to bowl tie-ins.
