Did you see that the bill's sponsor is Joe Barton, REPUBLICAN of Texas? Orrin Hatch - REPUBLICAN of Utah has also supported similar efforts in the past. Both pols represent areas in which non-BCS teams feel they have been jobbed by the system.
I support an 8-team playoff - the first four games played in mid-December at the respective top-seeds home fields. Two New Years Day bowl games should match up the four winners. Finally, the championship game ought to be played in mid-January. It will be a college version of the Super Bowl.
All that said, it is a matter for the NCAA. I think Congress has bigger fish to fry right now.
Are we a little touchy! I don't believe I said anything about party affiliation! But Libs always let emotion carry the day.
Anyway it should be a 16 team match-up, after that there would be 8 teams, then 4, then 2 thus 4 weeks.All the major bowls could rotate the semi-finals and finals. The only bowls it would really hurt would be the minor bowls which no one pays attention to anyway (just another version of no score soccer for children - so no one feels bad). Also by having a College Super Bowl the viewership would go up.
Bigger fish to fry - it shouldn't even be considered in Congress. They screw up everything else, I am sure they could do it here also.
