Yeah, I know. Shocking news, right? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3375352 HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- There will be no playoff for the BCS anytime soon. Bowl Championship Series officials rejected a plan Wednesday to turn the controversial system for deciding a national champ into a four-team playoff, starting in the 2010 season. After threel days of meetings, the BCS conference commissioners decided to move forward with the current system, rejecting the notion of a "plus-one" format to decide a champion. The SEC and ACC presented a specific plan that would have pitted the No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 and No. 3 in a Final Four of football. The Big Ten and Pac-10 were opposed. The earliest this concept could likely be reconsidered is 2014. "The BCS is in an unprecedented state of health," ACC commissioner and BCS chair John Swofford said Wednesday. Said SEC commissioner Mike Slive: "There isn't enough support now for this. I believe we can look at it again in the future."
The only reason the pac 10 and big 10 vote no is because they do not want to lose the Rose bowl $$$. Bastards!! The other conferences should start a new playoff system with out the pac and big 10 schools. That will change their thinking quickly.
This news makes me want to go all HULK SMASH on the BCS committee officials. Such archaic and short-term thinking. Sucks for the fans.
This article is both old and long, but goes into why we won't have a playoff any time soon. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=jo-delany010507&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
