CHICAGO -- The BCS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick on Wednesday endorsed a seeded four-team playoff model for college football that would begin for the 2014 season.
The commissioners' consensus must be approved by the BCS presidential oversight committee, which meets June 26 in Washington, D.C. If approved, the four-team playoff would replace the current BCS system, which has been in place since 1998.
Sources told ESPN.com that under the recommended model, four participating teams would be selected by a committee, which would consider certain criteria such as conference championships and strength of schedule.
Ehh. I like the idea of a playoff, personally. But I don't like the idea of it being just four teams. In that instance, I would MUCH rather have the bowl season. Personally, I would rather them expand it to 12 or 16 teams.

Re: OT: Consensus reached on 4 team college playoff.
And yet another level of games I get to ignore as a once quality product continues to get made worse and worse.

I have heard complaints about only4 and i don't agree 5th place can't complain about anything IMO. I didn't watch college ball before but this will make me watch at least the playoff games.

Given the reality of the sport with its 11-game season and one-game-per-week schedule, a 16-team playoff would be way out of proportion, IMO. 4 teams, 2 weeks is about the most that's supportable.

There is talk of conference champs getting into the final 4, on that basis if memory serves me right Alabama wouldn't have made it last year if the rules were in place...........

So they're looking to make it even worse than they've just made it?
What the hell is wrong with those people?

Re: OT: Consensus reached on 4 team college playoff.
Not nearly enough, this is almost as bad as the way it is now. It should at least be like NFL with 12 teams getting in, top 4 get byes. Maybe more teams since there's so many overall

There needs to be more teams.
People want to see an undefeated Boise State knock off a team like Alabama. Thats what makes NCAA Basketball playoff system so popular. Also, the time from the end of the season to the championship game is 6 weeks with some really meaningless football being played.

From what I've heard, the talk is based on record and strength of schedule. So that means that 3 out of 4, or possibly all 4 playoff teams will be SEC teams.

Ahh.... the irony of people getting what they want and then complaining about it, when they had a better system before.
If you want "The Best!", you have to let "The Best" play each other to work it out.
What was once a great tradition, with a few bowls featuring regional rivalries and allowing for post 'season' discussions about who was best to keep things lively in the offseason, will now become a weak sauce version of the NFL, except with the "ills" of baseball where there are dozens of have-nots and about 5-10 haves (at most) who fight it out year after year.
Great job, NCAA. You've gone from must-see-tv to "Why bother watching anything but the 3 game playoffs, if that?".
