Blog Hound: Discussion Around the "Plus-1" Bowl Format
Published July 18, 2007
With a report yesterday stating that support is growing for a "Plus-1" format in NCAA football, bloggers are talking about the pros and cons, and whether it solves the problems with the current BCS system.
| The Big Lead |
| “Obviously this solves nothing; last year, we may have seen something like Florida vs. LSU and USC vs. Ohio State with the winners squaring off for the title. And sadly, Boise State would have been left out.” |

| "This is the big scoop? 'Support is steadily growing for a 'Plus-1,' format'? That's been going on for at least three years. But maybe they're just setting something up here." |
| Fan IQ Posted by: Critical Fanatic |
| “Move in the right direction? Probably. Eliminating complaints, disappointment and fan upheaval? Doubtful.” |

| “I really can't think of a better solution. Its hard to imagine a team ranked lower than fourth that would have a legitimate claim to the national title.” |
BUILDING THE BUZZ: Sports Media Challenge's Sports Blog Index analyzed the buzz surrounding the "Plus-One" format. Discussion was relatively light, as most bloggers are positive about the idea's potential but realize that there are likely to be problems.

- The topic measured 4 out of 10 on The Buzz, which indicates a medium level of interest.
- Positive sentiment appears mostly appreciative that the discussions are even happening and are thankful that the powers that be appear willing to improve the current system.
- Some bloggers point out that a football tournament similar to the NCAA Basketball tournament would be impractical, and would therefore leave some potentially deserving teams still out of the running.
