    College football's most dominant conference has its wish list for a playoff.

    The Southeastern Conference took an official stance on a proposed four-team playoff Friday as school presidents and athletic directors voted unanimously to support having the four best teams play for the national title. The league doesnt want a playoff to include ties to conference champions.

    "If we're going to go to a four-team playoff, which I anticipate we are, it needs to be, and the fans would expect us to provide, the best four teams in the country," SEC commissioner Mike Slive said. "And if people aren't happy with the current system of how we rank them, then let's go back and look at the system that creates one through four.

    "I'm very open to looking at how we would do that, whether it's a committee or a different set of data points. But I think you go back to the source of the issue rather than dealing with a byproduct of the issue and end up gerrymandering who's going to be playing for the national championship."
