Coaches want polls to carry more weight during the selection process for the Bowl Championship Series and to have the No. 1 team in the coaches’ poll get an automatic berth in the championship game.
The American Football Coaches Association, which represents the 117 coaches of Division I-A teams, also wants better access to the high-paying BCS bowls for teams that don’t compete in power conferences.
Among proposals rejected by coaches was one that would include one additional championship game–the so-called “bowl system plus one” model.
More than 70 coaches met at the end of the AFCA’s convention Wednesday to vote on proposals to the BCS administrators. It is not known when the conference commissioners who coordinate the BCS would take up the requests.
