CHICAGO (AP) The BCS commissioners reached a consensus Wednesday on a model for a four-team, seeded playoff that will be presented to the university presidents next week for approval.
All that's left is for the presidents to sign off and major college football's champion will be decided by playoff come the 2014 season.
The commissioners have been working on reshaping college football's postseason since January. The meeting Wednesday was the sixth formal get-together of the year. They met for four hours and emerged together with a commitment to stand behind a plan.
In fact, all 11 commissioners stood shoulder-to-shoulder behind Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, who pinch-hit for under-the-weather BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock and read the BCS statement from a podium set up in a hotel conference room.
''We are excited to be on the threshold of creating a new postseason structure for college football that builds on the great popularity of our sport,'' Swarbrick read.
Though they were stingy about providing specifics of that plan.
They said they were reluctant to share too many details before they had a chance to discuss them with their bosses, the university presidents. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott did say the two semifinals would be worked into the existing major bowls and the site of the national championship game will be bid out similarly to the Super Bowl.

The best and worst thing about College Football is tradition. Then only entities that will step in the way of this playoff will be the traditional Bowl Sites, namely the Rose Bowl.

Can't wait for the 5th ranked team to bitch about getting screwed.

Oh great... now we get to hear talk from SEC fans about why the top 4 should be

1. Georgia
2. LSU
3. Alabama
4. South Carolina

Nothing will change

The fact a committee picks the teams is like a trojan horse, its just BCS in disguise

They will just pick teams that will generate the most revenue, AKA big name teams with big fanbases

Once an undefeated team, for example from the ACC, gets bypassed by a 1-2 loss SEC or Big 10 team it will be a shit storm

Also what would have happened in 2009? Top 6 was this:

1. Alabama 13-0
2. Texas 13-0
3. TCU 12-0
4. Cincinnati 12-0
5. Florida 12-1
6. Boise State 13-0

System would have been a mess that year

Also I believe in 2010 when TCU won Rose Bowl, BCS standings looked like this:

1. Auburn 13-0
2. Oregon 12-0
3. TCU 12-0
4. Stanford 11-1
5. Wisconsin 11-1
6. Ohio State 11-1

I guarantee that TCU and Stanford would have been leapfrogged by Wisconsin and Ohio State in this system because the committee would have valued Wisconsin/Ohio State's strength of scheudle more as justification for getting those 2 big fanbases in over smaller fanbases.

This is doomed to failure
