[Link](http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8099187/ncaa-presidents-approve-four-team-college-football-playoff-beginning-2014) A 4 team playoff. 2 Semi final games on Dec 31 and Jan 1, and a Championship game the first Monday in Jan that is more than 6 days later. I think it’s great. I think it also puts back the conference rivalries in the other bowls (instead of just the Rose Bowl) The little guys are getting screwed again. But with the conferences in such flux, the consistently good ‘little guys’ can jump to a major conference pretty easily. ---
