    The Big Ten on Monday outlined its preferences for college football's future postseason model, which include a selection committee with guidelines to help select four playoff participants.

    After meeting Sunday at Big Ten headquarters, the league's presidents and chancellors didn't emerge with an official position on a playoff, but three preferred options.

    The first, according to Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman, is to keep the current BCS model. The second is a plus-one model where two teams would be selected to play for a national title after all the bowl games are played. The third is a true four-team playoff with semifinals taking place at existing bowl sites and a championship game bid out to sites around the country. In the four-team model, the Big Ten strongly advocates using a selection committee.
