Bye, Bye BCS: College Football Playoff Plan Approved

It’s as much a part of college football’s BCS system as its bowls: The squabbling over who gets to play for the national title. ?Now, the system used to determine the finalists is set to change.

FOX News Radio’s Chris Hoenig reports:

Then-President-elect Obama made his thoughts clear back in 2009.

(2009: President-elect Obama) “You’ve heard my pitch. ((Reporters: “Who’s #1?//Who’s #1?)) That’s why we need a playoff.”

And playoffs it is. ?A committee of university Presidents, approving a plan for a four-team playoff starting in 2014. ?BCS Commissioners introduced the plan, which uses a selection committee to seed the top four Division I teams, similar to the way college basketball’s “March Madness” brackets are drawn up.

The #1-seed plays the #4-seed, and #2 plays #3, in semifinals that will be a part of the Bowl Championship system. ?The national championship will be hosted by the highest bidding city.
