NCAA Division I-A Rejects College Football Playoff Plan
NCAA Division I-A members voted 98 to 13 with one abstention to reject a two team playoff tied to bowls. Leaders say a playoff is not now, but may return in three to four years as bowl TV contracts mature. Some support remains for a one game playoff, while bowl groups warn of impacts on smaller bowls and TV ratings.
