Waterboard the BCS
U.S. Congressman Edolphus Towns, D-Brooklyn, N.Y., the incoming chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, says he will hold hearings and force college college presidents, players, coaches to testify in an effort to create a college football playoff system. You really do not get a true No. 1 out of (the Bowl Championship Series)," Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., told USA TODAY. "Nobody questions the Super Bowl. The team that wins is the best team that year. I think we can do the same thing at the college level where once it's over there is no questions about who is No. 1 and who is No. 2.

I know it's a plan that won't go anywhere, but why don't we scrap college football completely and set up a minor-league football farm system. College football players aren't really students, for the most part. They're unpaid semi-pro athletes.
As much as I hate the BCS, the Representatives comments that the Super Bowl every year settles who is the best team doesn't hold water. Consider last years NY Giants, who beat a preivously undefeated NE Patriot team. I would still argue, and I am not a fan of either team, that the Giants played better in one game, but that in all other statistical areas, the Patriots were far superior.
So here then is the question: Where did the good Representative go to school (becuase you know his alma mattter is pushing him to right these unspeakable wrongs) and why is wasting my tax money to do it?
Remember the last time Congress investiagted a sport with the baseball and steroid hearings? What if they had spent that time figuring out that the banks were out of money becuase of horrible management? Do you think they might have somehow helped prevent this mess we are in now instead of forcing us to sit through hours of Roger Clemens?
I don't know about your college but UTAH graduates it's football team with at least one degree and in some cases 2 degrees!
Maybe if Politicians would focus on the issues vexing this country it would not be so screwed up. Just what we need, a politician who cheats on his taxes and on his wife, trying to get involved in college football.
What an insult.
