BCS takes big step toward college football playoff
 

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — College football is on the verge of finally having a playoff, its own version of the final four.


For the first time, all the power brokers who run the highest level of the sport are comfortable with the idea of deciding a championship the way it's done in just about every other sport.


"Yes, we've agreed to use the P word," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said.


They want to limit it to four teams. That's for sure. Now they just have to figure out how to pick the teams, where and when to play the games and what to do with the bowls. The new format would go into effect after for the 2014 season.


As for the current Bowl Championship Series, it's on life support. Any chance that it survives past the next two seasons? "I hope not," Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive said Thursday.


"This is a seismic change for college football," BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said after the 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dame's athletic director wrapped up three days of meetings at a beachside hotel in south Florida.

Oh, and I don't weep. I've said all along that, while the current system works, I would be ok with (at most) a 4 team playoff.

I feel like we just invented the warp drive.

Yep, the college football ratings continue to slide while college basketball is shooting up.

Something needed to be done.

Huge response to that thread. :p

People were too busy jacking off to the draft and then removing splooge-created, racist blackheads :shrug:

lol, I didn't even know the draft was tonight until this morning. The draft is so dumb...

Somebody whose team has won the BCS championship twice in the last six years thinks the BCS works?

I didn't even know how to jack off until this morning.

It sounds great in theory but in reality it will just create new options to bitch about.

How do you pick the 4 teams? Some form of BCS ranking? An unbiased committee like the NCAA basketball tournament?

Should it be all wild cards, limited to conference champions, or a combination?

Neutral site or home-field playoff games?

If neutral, who the hell is going to pay to travel to a semifinal game if their team has a chance to make the natty?



I know it's blasphemy, but I don't think the current system is broken. It is simple and we virtually always get the two best teams in the championship game.

That's a load of crap & you know it. :spock:

The best team has won the Championship since the creation of the BCS NC Game.
