CHICAGO -- The BCS commissioners say they have come to a consensus on a model four-team seeded playoff that will be presented to the university presidents next week for approval.
The commissioners, who have been working on reshaping college football's postseason to create the first major college playoff, met for four hours and emerged together with a commitment to stand behind a plan. They were stingy, though, with providing details 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.

They forgot to mention TV ratings potential.
Well, it's a start.

Yes.

Personally, I would keep the current BCS-rankings(w/ tweaks needed based on yearly reviews) and put the top 4 teams. The rankings are unbiased to things like ratings and seemed to do a decent job ranking teams it's just that a 2-team playoff was leaving teams w/ equal or almost as strong cases to be there. Of course there will be plenty of complaining who should be 4th but it still keeps the importance of the regular season intact and people complain about college basketball that has a 68-team tournament.
