ON JUNE 13 in Chicago, college football's 11 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame's athletic director will put the final touches on plans for a playoff. The meeting will be monumental for what it represents: the biggest shift in college football since the NCAA split into Divisions I, II and III in 1973. But the scene inside a conference room at the Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport hotel won't be much different from any other BCS meeting over the past decade. The executives will take their seats around a table -- and at opposite ends of it will likely be the two most powerful among them: Jim Delany of the Big Ten and Mike Slive of the SEC.
