After the conclusion of a three day meeting in south Florida, 11 Football Bowl Subdivision conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced Thursday, April 26 that they would recommend a four-game playoff system for the 2014 season. Other proposals of both eight-team and 16-team playoffs have been eliminated from consideration.

College football fans can rejoice in the fact that officials have now publicly mentioned a playoff system, but there is still much more that needs to be discussed going into the scheduled meeting with BCS officials in June. Conference commissioners now have the task of returning to their respective universities and discuss the specifics mainly where and when the playoff games would take place and how the rankings would be decided.
