Big Ten exploring 4-team playoff

[TheGame]

Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis says his peers in the Big Ten are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff for the national championship.
Hollis says keeping ties to the Rose Bowl is extremely important to athletic directors in the Big Ten and Pac-12.
The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that one of the ideas before the Big Ten would put the two semifinal games on the campuses of the higher seeded teams. The national championship game would be awarded to cities that bid for it.
