Meetings in Phoenix are being held between Bowl Champion-ship Series officials. Rumors on ESPN say that ABC is planning on making a pitch for a playoff game after the bowl season in which the two consensus title contenders will face off.
All of the bowls would go back to their old tie-ins, with the two consensus No.1 teams matching up after the final bowl is over.
This sounds very good, except for the fact that now the controversy will be about who makes it to the 'real' championship game.
The fact is until the BCS is scrapped for an actual playoff, there just isn't a system that will be able to truly crown a real champion. It seems that the NCAA and college football, while making progress, are only able to take baby steps.
