"Mike Slive doesn't like football playoff proposal to protect Rose Bowl"

Not surprisingly, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive isn't a fan of a football playoff proposal designed to protect the Rose Bowl.

One of the proposals discussed next week at the BCS meetings will be a model allowing the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions to play in the Rose Bowl while two national semifinals also would be held. After three games are played, two teams would somehow be chosen to play in the national title game.

"It's not one of my favorites," Slive said Monday at a roundtable of conference commissioners during a Associated Press Sports Editors meeting at the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. "I think what we're trying to do is simplify in many ways, and I don't think that adds to the simplification of the postseason."...

    These crybabies want a championship handed to them.

I agree with you Chech, the Big 10 always wants something special for them.

And the Rose Bowl still wants to consider itself to be the premier bowl, though fans outside of those two conferences don't see it that way.  It can't be the premier bowl unless it hosts the national champion.

I am not in favor of actually razing the building (The Rose Bowl).  Let the losers enjoy their monument to mediocrity. But if a shining example of college football excellence needs to promoted above all else, it makes perfect sense that the bowl to be ever endeared in the annals should be the SEC Championship Game- the defacto National Championship game.

Well I see nothing wrong with the Rose Bowl keeping the Big 10 and Pac-10 BUT they should not be allowed to play in the round robin BCS circuit. RTR!

This is a crock of bovine scatology.  All conf's and all bowl games have got to be treated equally or it will skew the selection of the teams in the n.c. game and tarnish the process.  College football and the whole bowl scene has changed dramatically in the last 10 - 15 years.  All the traditional major bowl games have got to deal with that.

Here's a counter proposal. Regardless of end-of-season rankings, the Big 10 and Pac 10 Champs square off in the Rose Bowl, and then the winner plays Notre Dame for the National Championship.
