i read the article twice and methinks it's a bit confusing.
i'm gathering that the BCS is considering adding one game to the end of all the bowls... a national championship game between #1 and #2. in my mind this is almost like a plus-one except it isn't dependent on who played in what bowl game. instead it would depend on the rankings once the four big bowls had been played. it would be conceivable that a team in the third or fourth big bowl ranked #6 with a record of 10-2 before they played the game could whoop up on their opponent and end the season magically at #2 and push out a team that was in the #3 spot prior to the bowls with a record of 11-1 and won a nailbiter over their opponent.
if this is the type scenario they're proposing, i'm going to begin vomiting.
why not just bring in 3 more top tier bowls into the BCS making a total of 7 bowls and make an 8 team playoff. each game can be named a bowl. who cares. you still get some money although the matchups might not be exactly what you want.
