We'll maybe next year ....

This is the final year of the uber hated BCS bowl system. I for one never really hated it - but UGA has never been screwed over like SOME team is going to be this season . Clemson can go ALL THE WAY - not lose a game, and if Oregon and Alabama don't drop a game - they will NOT be in the big game in Pasadena.
SO, starting next year, we are going to a modified play-off system - determined by a new cabal of smart football folks!

And here they are :

• Jeff Long, vice chancellor and director of athletics, University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Chair
• Barry Alvarez, director of athletics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
• Lieutenant General Mike Gould, former superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy
• Pat Haden, director of athletics, University of Southern California
• Tom Jernstedt, former NCAA executive vice president
• Oliver Luck, director of athletics, West Virginia University
• Archie Manning, former University of Mississippi quarterback and all-pro NFL quarterback
• Tom Osborne, former head coach and director of athletics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
• Dan Radakovich, director of athletics, Clemson University
• Condoleezza Rice, Stanford University professor, former Stanford provost and former United States Secretary of State
• Mike Tranghese, former commissioner of the Big East Conference
• Steve Wieberg, former college football reporter, USA Today
• Tyrone Willingham, former head coach of three FBS institutions

Here are some further details:

• Criteria to be on the committee: Integrity, football expertise, objectivity, ability to carefully evaluate and experience making decisions under scrutiny
• Unlike the BCS, there is no limit to the number of teams from each conference.
• Playoff committee will meet four times a year starting in midseason and release rankings four times every other week.
• Playoff committee will consider conference championships, strength of schedule, head-to-head, and comparative outcomes of common opponents.
• Committee members will serve three-year terms, with the exception of the first committee, which will be staggered so all don’t leave at the same time.
• Tentatively, the CFB Playoff will put out 4-5 rankings of a Top 25 near the end of the season, around the time the BCS Rankings came out.
