The NCAA has NO CONTROL over the National Championship right now. That's the entire reason the BCS was created and exists today and exactly why an NCAA playoff has not been established. The conference commissioners and school presidents want to keep the money. The NCAA doesn't get the money from the BCS now, and the NCAA won't get the money from the newer 4-team title format that goes into effect in a few years, either. The BCS exists because the presidents and commissioners want to keep the money.
Georgia Tech to Big Ten rumors gaining a lot of steam

Incorrect. They don't directly pick the teams but they can take away your ability to play for it. Case in point this year with Ohio State.
It wouldn't have to mean that, it could be the semifinals Friday and Saturday this weekend and the championship game next.

If nothing else it's getting fun.
Georgia Tech's "Acting" Associate A.D. says that he talked to the President of the school who denied the rumors. The "comments section" doesn't really believe it.
Oh if it happens maybe Studwell will finally be happy. He's been lobbying for that Offense for years!

NCAA has a limit on 12 regular season games. The only way you can play 13 before the bowl season is to play in a conference championship game or play Hawaii.
The B1G would have to petition for a bylaw change from the NCAA.
If you've learned anything lately it should be money how money is the driving factor above all else for college sports. If the major conferences want a conference playoff and the money it would bring getting the NCAA rules to change probably won't be much of an issue.
