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.

The two national semifinal games would be played within the existing BCS bowl games (Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar) on a rotating basis, with the host sites being predetermined before each season. The national championship game would be offered to the highest bidding city.
We all knew the BCS system was all about money. I wonder how much it will take to win that auction. At least they finally figured out how to make the fans happy AND generate even more money for college football.

How do you expect Florida to ever make it in if only 4 teams are involved?

Why would eight be stupid? Four mega-conference champs plus four at-large teams sounds pretty good to me.

I've always thought 8 would be perfect, because for the most part it catches all of the 1-loss teams and at worst it would catch one or two 2-loss teams.

I'm happy with 4 though... I would have been happy with any kind of progress. I thought they would just use the BCS rankings to determine the teams... but, I'm sure that was a big part of the agreement. Using a committee is helpful when you have cities bidding on the NC game.

This morning on DP show they were saying they thought there could have been home games awarded for the semi-finals if the B1G and PAC weren't lobbying so hard for bowl involvement.
I'm pissed. That was what I was asking for all along, the semi-finals be played on campus.

I think this will turn out to be such a success (money) it won't take long to expand it to 8 teams.

Baby steps.

If there is money to be made it will expand to 32 teams in no time. It's all about the Benjamins.

This immediately doubles my interest in college football from fan to lunatic.
I'm curious to know why DA would add "4 at the most" to his post. How could a playoff be a bad thing in any way shape or form. I'm curious to see how quickly a 3 or 4 seed, who would have otherwise never had a shot at the title, wins a NC.
On a side note, I'm really pumped to see how Tennessee's new complex affects their recruiting, and how far that shoots them up the rankings.
We're really sick of getting ass whoopings from AL, and FL before that.

While I agree they will chase the $$, 8 teams is about as far as scheduling will allow it to go, but I'm all for as many teams as they can get into a PO.

These games are going to beat everything other the the SB into the ground.
College football easily becomes the 2nd most popular sport in America with a PO system IMO.

I'm excited too. However I'm suspicious about how the 4 teams are going to be selected, would like to hear more details on that before I can know if I like it.

Heck, assuming the #4 seed plays the #1 seed, all it takes is that team at #4 to beat the #1 for this system to prove its worth, even if that team doesn't go on to win the championship.
