UGA president predicts football playoffs by 2014

ATHENS -- University of Georgia president Michael Adams says he believes a college football playoff is only a couple of years from becoming a reality.

The Athens Banner-Herald reports that Adams says his ``best guess'' is that major college football will end up with either a four-team or eight-team playoff by 2014.

Adams made the comments during meetings with the UGA Athletic Association board executive committee on Wednesday.

Adams called the Big Ten's decision this week to consider a playoff system a ``very significant development'' because he said the Big Ten and what's now the Pac-12 ``killed it'' in the past.

Adams proposed an eight-team playoff in early 2008.
