Bowl Championship Series presidents have rejected the Mountain
(AP) --
West Conference's playoff plan.
The MWC proposed an eight-team playoff system that would allow
greater access to the national championship game to teams outside
the six most powerful leagues. The BCS presidential oversight
committee rejected the concept during a teleconference on
Wednesday.
"There was no overall support for the proposal, although some
conferences were interested in considering certain elements of it
in the future - particularly those related to revenue, access and
governance of the BCS arrangement," said University of Oregon
president David Frohnmayer, the outgoing committee chairman.
