“I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football. I’m fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. Get eight teams — the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a National Champion.”
-Sen. Barack Obama, talking on Monday Night Football about one thing he would change in sports.
Sen. John McCain was asked the same question. And while his answer was more serious and probably more practical — “take significant action to prevent the spread and use of performance-enhancing substances.” — Sen. Obama’s response should be a battle cry for those of us, Republican, Democrat and Independents alike, who desperately want this idiotic BCS nonsense to end.
Check the latest polls (the NCAA D-1 football polls that is). We have another mess on our hands that is probably going to result in a deserving Big 12 squad watching from the sidelines another lopsided victory for the SEC over the Big 10. Another year, another mess, followed by another discussion of playoffs/at the very least a plus one game that goes absolutely nowhere.
Can Obama become NCAA commissioner if this whole president thing doesn’t work out for him?
