re: BCS has achieved consensus on 4-team seeded playoff.

2 Questions for everyone
1) Does this system have a chance at limiting conference expansion? It could keep teams like FSU in the ACC, ND independent, etc by not directly placing the Big 4 champions into the Final 4 automatically.
2) Wouldn't BCS rankings work better than a selection committee?

1) I don't think so. They wouldn't be stupid enough to have a 4 team playoff for just the winners of 4 certain conferences. If they did that, they might as well file a lawsuit against themselves on behalf of those left out 
2) IMO yes. The committee idea sounds good in theory, but I doubt it would vary much from the BCS rankings and could be a huge CF in a year like 2008 where you had 7 BCS teams at 12-1 or 11-1 and 2 NonAQ's that were 12-0.

Depends on the school IMO. If you're someone like say Louisville who is looking at probably getting excluded even if they win their conference (no more 3+ loss teams in the "BCS") because of the lack of strength in conference scheduling you're probably looking to change conferences. But as you said, someone like Notre Dame is sitting pretty as an Independent.

I'd think so. Especially since it seems like they're leaning towards a system that doesn't have much set-in-stone criteria.
