Congress may step in
A Texas congressman is writing a bill that will make it illegal to promote a College BCS National Championship game without using a playoff system. The bill "will prohibit the marketing, promotion, and advertising of a postseason game as a 'national championship' football game, unless it is the result of a playoff system. Violations of the prohibition will be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice." - as quoted by ESPN.com.
I can only imagine that congressmen have more dire things to think about in this brief moment in history. However, a playoff system would be pretty bad-ass in college football. Maybe a Hawaiian congressman will finally step up and make wearing socks with sandals a violation of the Obviously Not in Good Taste Act. The possibilities are endless. Of course, we might also want to consider stabilizing the economy and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. But in the meantime, can you imagine a California where it’s against the law to wear a fanny packs in conjunction with Khaki shorts? Or a world that finally recognizes that Futbol is actually called Soccer? It's crazy!
