Title: "The road to the Final Four - in college football! - is one step closer" Post by: Chechem on February 25, 2012, 04:46:38 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/the_road_to_the_final_four_-_i.html
Quote Apparently, the SEC winning six straight national titles capped by an All-SEC BCS National Championship Game was the last straw, at least for everyone outside of the SEC. Ironically, it was the SEC that suggested moving beyond the current BCS format before the league's dominance got to this point because an undefeated SEC champion got shut out of the BCS Championship Game. The 2004 Auburn team should take a bow. It's taken some time, but some greater good may come out of its inexcusable snub after all. That good will be a playoff. It'll be a four-team playoff because radical change is too much to expect from this bunch, but a playoff just the same, starting with the 2014 season.

You can't overstate the significance of their open minds, especially when one of them belongs to the Big Ten's Jim Delany. There's only one explanation for his willingness to join in the discussion. That's right. A playoff is coming to major college football. Amazing. I hear they're dancing in the streets in Columbus. :dance: I know I've said it before, but they better be careful what they wish for.

While I think it still would have been LSU and Bama in the BCSCG, the initial matchups, Stanford v. LSU and OkStU v Bama, would at least have been interesting.
