NASHVILLE — Leaders of the
Bowl Championship Series are looking ways to change the way its champion
is decided, but a new format is far from complete.
``It is still really
premature. We haven't zeroed in on one format,'' Mike Slive,
commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, said Monday while attending
the NCAA Convention. ``All models are on the table.''
The BCS took a hit this
season when LSU and Southern California were split national champions.
LSU won the Sugar Bowl, the BCS' designated title game,while USC won the
Rose Bowl and was voted No. 1 in the Associated Press poll.
Among the suggestions are
to play one game after the other bowls, which would have matched LSU
against USC.
The American Football
Coaches Association, which represents the 117 coaches of Division I-A
teams, rejected the extra game idea at its meeting last week. The Pac-10
also is against the plan.
Another proposal has the
winners of the four BCS bowls playing two more rounds in a mini-playoff.
The commissioners of the
six BCS conferences are scheduled to meet in February.
Also Monday, NCAA
president Myles Brand called a computer company's campaign for a
national championship game between LSU and Southern California ``a
cynical publicity stunt.''

Brand spoke out against
Gateway Inc.'s offer of $30 million in scholarship money if the game was
played.
``Anyone who believes that
higher education would jump at a cynical publicity stunt are mistaken
and missing the point,'' Brand said. ``It puts all the emphasis on
intercollegiate athletics as entertainment and erodes the critical
concept that the welfare of the student-athlete is paramount.''
University presidents have
the authority to sanction the idea, but Brand doesn't believe that would
happen.
``Many of those presidents
have not been supportive of a playoff. Coaches are not supportive of a
playoff,'' Brand said.
Ted Waitt, chairman and
CEO of Gateway Inc., based in the San Diego suburb of Poway, made his
first offer last week, and the company has continued to place large
advertisements in newspapers across the country.
