Commissioners discuss tweaking postseason format

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — The BCS executive director says conference commissioners have discussed the possibility of adding another game to be part of the semifinal rotation for the new college football playoff.

Bill Hancock says nothing was decided during meetings the last two days near Chicago.

The postseason plan approved by university presidents in June called for the national semifinals to rotate among six bowl sites. The years those sites do not host semifinals, they would be marquee bowl games, involving other highly ranked teams.

Hancock says commissioners talked about whether there would be enough access to those marquee games for conferences that do not have contractual ties to high-profile bowls, such as the Pac-12 and Big Ten’s partnership with the Rose Bowl.
