BCS officials to discuss changes
NEW ORLEANS -- Bowl Championship Series officials will meet Tuesday to exchange ideas about possible changes to the format of major college football's postseason system.
"Everything imaginable will be discussed," BCS executive director Bill Hancock said.
While it seems certain that major changes are coming, a full-scale playoff to determine a champion isn't one of them.
Hancock said Monday morning at a meeting of the Football Writers Association of America that protecting the importance of the regular season is vital.
"The larger the playoff field, the more damage to the regular season," he said.
One of the formats that will be given serious consideration is a four-team playoff called a plus-one.
No. 1 LSU plays No. 2 Alabama in the Allstate BCS Championship Game at the Superdome later Monday.
