Chair of BCS committee not on board with Obama's playoff idea (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3697109)

One person who won't be swayed by President-elect Barack Obama's recent call for an eight-team national college football playoff is Oregon president David Frohnmayer, chair of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee.

"We deeply respect the president-elect and we are glad that he is a fan of college football," Frohnmayer said in an e-mail response to ESPN Tuesday. "We have the most compelling regular season in all of sports, and I'm sure that contributes to Senator Obama's enjoyment of our great game."

Frohnmayer opposes a playoff for the former Division I-A. Other presidents on the committee are Rev. John Jenkins (Notre Dame), Robert Khayat (Ole Miss), Mark Nordenberg (Pittsburgh), John Peters (Northern Illinois), Harvey Perlman (Nebraska), Graham Spanier (Penn State) and Charles Steger (Virginia Tech.)

"My colleagues and I on the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee have discussed the future of postseason football on many occasions and we do not believe a playoff would be in the best interest of the sport, the student-athletes or our many other constituencies," Frohnmayer said.

When asked what change he'd make in sports during last week's Monday Night Football broadcast, Obama said "I think it's about time we had playoffs in college football. I'm fed up with these computer rankings and this that and the other. Get eight teams -- the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a national champion."

BCS is fucking stupid and should be disbanded.

No shit all the BCS cares about is money. March Madness is the best time of the year and you can image how great it would be to a have a playoff for college football. Decide the true winner on the field not by a fucking computer.

If Obama can set up a legitimate NCAA playoff system that works he will go down as the greatest president in history in my book. :jj:

Fuck the economy, fix college football already dammit!!

cool me and the BCS have something in common

BCS is fucking stupid and should be disbanded. Pussah is TRUTH!

change :cheer:

I would like to see the playoffs and college football. I think college football loves that there are none because then people like us will have something to talk and debate about during the season.

Of course you dont like Obama. If my parents paid for everything also, I would dislike Obama as well. What jersey or hats have they bought you lately?

I can't disagree with you. College football needs to do something about this.

However, I think that they are greedy because they want the money. They will allow a team like Notre Dame to play in bowl games because they generate money.
