CHICAGO (AP) -- The BCS commissioners say they have come to a consensus on a model four-team seeded playoff that will be presented to the university presidents next week for approval.
The commissioners who have been working on reshaping college football's postseason to create the first major college playoff met for four hours and emerged together with a commitment to stand behind a plan. Though they were stingy with providing details of that plan.
They said they were reluctant to share too many details before they had a chance to discuss them with their bosses, the university presidents. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott did say the two semifinals would be worked into the existing major bowls.

CHICAGO (AP) -- People with firsthand knowledge of the decision tell The Associated Press the semifinals of a proposed college football championship would rotate between the major bowls and not be tied to traditional conference sites.
They said Wednesday that under the plan, a selection committee would help pick the schools involved in a four-team playoff.
These are the key elements BCS commissioners plan to present to university presidents for approval next week in Washington.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the commissioners did not want to reveal many details before talking to their bosses.
