    NCAA president Mark Emmert reiterated his support Monday for a two-round, four-team BCS championship playoff and his concern about the discord conference expansion creates.

    Emmert said Monday there are ongoing discussions about what he described as a Final Four model, a scenario which would've matched LSU against Stanford and Alabama versus Oklahoma State this season with the winners advancing to the Allstate BCS Championship Game. Alabama defeated LSU 21-0 to avenge its lone loss and win the championship.

    "I wish it had been a better game," said Emmert, who spoke at a Tallahassee civic organization's luncheon. He was the chancellor at LSU when Nick Saban was hired as the Tigers' coach.

    Not everyone supported the rematch between the two Southeastern Conference schools.

    "If I had to guess we'll see some movement in the format," Emmert said of how the BCS championship is decided. "Where it's going to wind up, I don't know."
