Southeastern Conference president Michael Adams has accused the Big Ten and Pac 10 conferences, along with the Rose Bowl, of being "the largest impediment" to the implementation of a playoff system at the highest level of college football.


Adams, an Ohio State graduate who has been the president of the University of Georgia since 1997 and is the chairman of the NCAA executive committee, chastised his former school as well.


"I have good friends [there], I have two degrees from Ohio State, I love Ohio State," he said. "But this is not a way to serve the country."


Adams, who pitched his plan in a softer context during the NCAA's Division I Board of Directors' current meeting in Nashville, took a little spicier tack when he appeared on XM Radio's Sports Nation recently with political pundit and rabid SEC fan James Carville, who co-hosts 60/20 Sports on XM.
