Wow, a selection committee for 4 teams? That will be interesting to say the least.

ETA: If they wanted to choose the one way playoffs could cause more controversy than the BCS, they have done it IMO

Good

The conference champion requirement is idiotic.

"Selection Committee"

Gotta make sure Bama, ND, and USC make it. Only one true slot open each year.

terrible idea, imo.

a "supposedly" impartial selection committee for college baseball selected UF as the #1 national seed when they didn't even win the SEC East much less the SEC.

now, I realize the #1 seed in baseball really doesn't mean anything more than the #8 seed in baseball. but, for the sake of argument, assume the top 8 seeds for this years college baseball tournament are all football teams: UF, UCLA, FSU, Baylor, Oregon, UNC, LSU, USCe.

So UF makes the final four football teams over the team that won their division and the team that won their conference?

selection committee = far too subjective, i don't want the four teams to be dependent upon TV ratings.

it needs to be the top 4 BCS ranked teams. the computers and the number of poll voters limit the subjectivity to at least some degree.

Great. ESPN is already getting their lobbyists geared up to play a key role in influencing this "committee."
