BCS takes big step toward college football playoff

Major college football is on the verge of implementing a playoff, its own version of the final four.

Two semifinals and a title game.

There's still plenty left to figure out, though. First of all, where and when to play the games and how the bowls fit in. After that, Slive and his cohorts have to come up with a way to select the four teams. The new postseason format would go into effect for the 2014 season.
