This is the biggest joke i ever read about in my life. Half of my state is unemployed and people are scared of this virus thing thats going on but our GREAT nation cares more about the BCS that getting jobs back and the important things thats going on. I mean if your in a small conference and u want to play in the title game then work your butt off and play 3 or 4 games against the BCS schools and your get your shot in a year are 2. There are better things congress can do than take the fun out of college football by trying to start a stupid playoff.

I suppose you’re right. I’m following March Madness religiously (at the direction of my gf), whereas I never turn on a basketball game at any other point during the year. I don’t watch a whole lot of college football either, but I wasn’t are of all the political BS behind it. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised… but wow….

Terri, it occurred to me that some would come here and indeed think this was written tongue-in-cheek. Unfortunately, it’s legit down the line. College football, with respect to the symphony of voices arguing over playoff vs. no playoff, is a lot like Congress. Everyone insists he/she has the right plan. Finally, something is instituted and everyone proceeds to rip it apart….until the next time the issue hits the floor. Then, we do the same dance again.

I’m the first to admit, I DON’T know sports. I understand sports, but I don’t closely follow and pro or college sports teams. So I’m sitting here asking myself, “This is written tongue-in-cheek, isn’t it?” Congress thinks they need to have a hand in college football? Tell me you’re kidding.
