    The big wigs from 11 conferences gathered in Hollywood, Florida overlooking the beach for a five hour meeting to debate the possibility of a playoff system in college football. The new format that was up for debate included seeding the top four teams based on their poll placement at the end of the season. The one seed would play the four seed and the two seed would play the three seed. Most fans want to see the new format that would take a lot of the questions out of the yearly dispute that surrounds who should be crowned Champion, but of course, contracts, television deals and money disputes got in the way of creating something that would please the viewing public.

    Some commissioners believe that the system is fine the way it is right now. Week after week there is a “do or die” scenario for every game. One loss can keep a team out of the National Championship which makes every game a must win. Dan Beebe, the commissioner from the Big 12 believes the system is not flawed saying, “There's a strong feeling in the Big 12 that what we have is working well.” SEC commissioner Mike Slive said, "There isn't support among the commissioners at this point to move forward with this proposal as we move into the next cycle.” However, he did add that, “the discussions had value,” possibly giving the fans hope for a future playoff in the Bowl Championship Series.
