"Everything you can imagine will be discussed," BCS executive director Bill Hancock said. "Everything from format, who plays who, to where they play, to the business aspect of it ... it's all going to be on the table."
USC has only been invited to the BCS Championship Game twice under the current format. However, if there had been a plus-one in place, the Trojans could have made the playoffs every year from 2002-2008.
