BCS Top Dogs Say No to a Playoff System
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Saying the BCS was in an “unprecedented state of health,” ACC commissioner John Swofford announced Wednesday that college football will not change the way it determines its national champion as it prepares to begin negotiations for future television contracts that will probably run through the 2014 season.
“We will move forward in the next cycle with the current format,” said Swofford, who serves as BCS chairman. “I believe the BCS has never been healthier in its first decade.”
This just confirms that the the conference commissioners are on crack. What other explanation could there be?
The decision was made during five-hour meeting at which all 11 commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White were presenting.
What we do know is that SEC commission Mike Slive (pictured, left) made the plus-one proposal. We also no that Big 12’s Dan Beebe and Big Ten’s Jim Delany voted “no.” Big East’s Mike Tranghese says he favored an unseeded version of the playoffs, so he probably voted no as well, and we can assumed from history that the Pac 10 was driving force in the “no.” How the others voted, I don’t know.
What do you think - are the commissioners right to keep things how they are, or are you in favor of some kind of playoff system?
