Despite a presentation from SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, the members that make up the Bowl Championship Series have rejected a "plus one" proposal that would have set up a mini playoff for college football.

In making the decision, BCS officials will keep the format for the BCS the same as it has been at least until after the 2014 season.

BCS officials have been conducting meetings near Hollywood, Florida since the beginning of the week.
