Dennis Dodd: "2014 is the earliest CFB may see a playoff."

For the first time, commissioners will formally discuss a different postseason model. A four-team playoff that has taken on the moniker "plus-one" will be on the table. The 2014 season is the earliest, realistically, it could be implemented considering the complicated series of television contracts that still exist. Not to mention the long-stated opposition of one-third of the six major conferences -- the Pac-10 and Big Ten.

When asked how plus-one proponents rappel up that little Everest, Swofford said, "I don't know that we do."

The question, then, is whether Wednesday's discussion will kill a plus-one for the foreseeable future. The answer is, probably. Things are too good now to take a chance that they might get better with a plus-one in the future.
