college football post-season calls for a Pac-12 or Big 12 team to face the best
team from a group of five conferences, including the Big East. A person with
direct knowledge of the plan for the four-team playoff in 2014 told The
Associated Press that either a Pac-12 or a Big 12 team likely will be the
opponent for the top-rated champion from the Big East, Mountain West, Conference
USA, Sun Belt and Mid-American Conference. The person spoke on condition of
anonymity Wednesday because the conferences did not want to make the plan
public. The proposal has the Pac-12 sending either its champion or a replacement
team to the game in years when the Rose Bowl hosts a national semifinal. In
years the Rose Bowl is a traditional Big Ten-Pac-12 matchup, the Big 12 would
send one of its top teams to the game. The deal with the Big 12 and Pac-12 would
be similar to the one the Orange Bowl is working on with the Big Ten and the
Southeastern Conference. That deal, which has not been completed, would match a
team from either of those conferences or Notre Dame against the Atlantic Coast
Conference champ or a another ACC team. The original playoff plan had the
national semifinals rotating among six bowl sites, giving the new system two
playoff games and four other high-revenue bowl games each season. The top four
teams determined by a selection committee, regardless of conference affiliation,
will play in the semifinals. The winners meet in a championship game about a
week later. The spots in those other four games would be for other highly ranked
teams, but those slots have quickly started filling up as the major conferences
began making deals. The Rose Bowl, as has been tradition, will always match the
Pac-12 and Big Ten when it does not host a semiifinal. T.Y. Hilton Jersey. The new marquee bowl
being created by the Big 12 and the SEC —site to be determined—will be also
part of the system, so those two spots are filled. The Orange Bowls deals took
two more spots out of play. That led to concerns about limited access to the
high-revenue games for the other five conferences. The rebuilding Big East,
which currently has automatic-qualifying status to the Bowl Championship Series,
has been trying to gain a more secure spot in the new post-season system. The
person with direct knowledge of the plan said new Big East Commissioner Mike
Aresco spearheaded the push for the addition of a seventh game to be added to
the system, and presented a plan for the highest-rated champion from the other
five conferences to be assured a spot in the game. Sun Belt Commissioner Karl
Benson told the AP last week there was enough support for a seventh game among
the commissioners to make it happen. The Big East is being transformed into a
12-team football conference next season that will include Boise State and San
Diego State, along with Memphis, Central Florida, SMU and Houston. While the
conference has lost its status as one of the BCS power-brokers, its still
well-positioned to be the best of the other conferences and to grab that
guaranteed slot if it does not have its best team selected to play in the
national semifinals. Allowing the Pac-12 and Big 12 to share the spot opposite
the best of the rest in a bowl would give the game stability and likely increase
the value of its television rights, as compared to having the opponent be left
undetermined. The site of the game is still being discussed, but Glendale,
Ariz., site of the Fiesta Bowl, or Houston would make geographical sense and are
prime candidates, the person said. ’ ’ ’
