re: Explain to me the +1 scenario

Yes, +1 is just 1 versus 2 determined after the bowl games.
Exactly. Everyone keeps (mistakenly) thinking that a +1 is a 4 team playoff. It isn't. A +1 scenario matches the top 2 teams after the bowls are played. Theoretically, a team could be #6 going into the bowls, and end up in the championship under a +1 scenario. I hate it. We all need to be using the term "4 Team Playoff".
For instance, in 2008:
Week 15 rankings (prior to Bowls)-
#1 Florida
#2 Oklahoma
#3 Texas
#4 Alabama
#5 USC
#6 Penn St
#7 Utah
Week 16 ranking (after the Bowls) -
#1 Florida
#2 Utah
#3 USC
etc.
