Husker_x Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany on Saturday told the Tribune that Big Ten athletic directors do not favor a “Plus-One” playoff system. Delany termed an unsourced Seattle Times story that reported a pro-playoff “consensus” from Pac-12 and Big Ten athletic directors as “erroneous.” Big Ten and Pac-12 athletic directors met last week in Newport Beach, Calif., for scheduled sessions on the Rose Bowl and other issues. The Times report cited a “straw vote” among ADs favoring to add a fifth BCS bowl game and to create a “Plus-One” that would pit the winners of semifinal playoff games in a championship matchup. The story did say that the ADs’ “consensus is nonbinding and not even a recommendation.” Still, if true, it would reflect a significant shift in thinking and could potentially lead to a full-blown college football playoff.
