Looks like the commissioners are closing to the 4 team playoff...the biggest hinging point being only conference winners being able to participate. Here's what I've gathered so far:
1. Probably use the current BCS bowls and rotate them for semifinals. This makes the most sense but I'd kind of like to see the 1s and 2s get a home game, but that does add more teams to include into the bowls.
2. Championship game bid out.
3. Selection committee used to help smooth over certain circumstances....such as 2 teams from one conference. Looks like the majority only want conference champions to participatebut continue to use BCSas a guide. I think the compromise will be only if2 teams from the same conference are in the top 3 of the BCS standings will be eligible.....a #4 ranking will not automatically get you in. This would've affected the SEC in 2006 and 2008.
They say to start in 2014....is that 2014 season....or Jan 2014 (2013 season)?
Here are the #4, #5, #6 BCS standings all the way back to 2000.

2005- #4 Ohio St., #5 Oregon, #6 Notre Dame
2004- #4 Texas, #5 Cal, #6 Utah
2003- #4 Mich, #5 Ohio State, #6 Texas
