Jack Swarbrick: "We have reached a consensus on a 4-team playoff."
Per the Notre Dame Athletic Director and reported by SI's Stewart Mandell, the commissioners have reached a consensus and plan on pitching a 4-team football playoff to the university presidents. DelanyBot also has hopes (or beliefs) that the presidents will discuss the possibility of a 4-team model and a plus one. In short: If the presidents approve this proposal, we could have a playoff in college football by 2014. Update: Link is now to an ESPN article detailing the next steps in the process.
