Holtz would prefer 4-team playoff in college football

ACC Commissioner John Swofford and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive recently announced there will be no change to the current BCS format at least until 2015, and Swofford claimed the system was in "an unprecedented state of health."

One man who disagrees with the format is Hall of Fame Coach Lou Holtz.

Holtz joined Mike Maniscalco and Dan Mason on 99.9 FM The Fan on Monday after his recent induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

"I would like to see the bowl games done by Jan. 1, then take the top four teams and have a playoff," said Holtz, who counted N.C. State and Notre Dame among his many coaching stops. "You can justify why LSU was champion last year but you can't justify why Georgia isn't and why Southern Cal isn't."

With recent news surrounding O.J. Mayo allegedly accepting cash while at USC, it brings up a question for which Holtz has strong opinions. Who should be held accountable for these violations?

Coaches, institutions or agents?

To find out what Holtz thinks about Mayo, and to hear his pep talk to Dan Mason's Pop Warner football team, you'll have to listen.
