President-Elect Barack Obama may be leaning towards a new kind of sports reform in congress. No I'm not talking about steroids, but the Bowl Championship Series. Obama is dead-set on having an eight-team play-off in college football, going as far as saying, "I'll throw my weight around."Deadspin does a good job of outlining Obama's plan for college football. It's actually pretty good and would be very fair for the teams who could be the college basketball version of Roger Mason. The BCS isn't too crazy about this idea at first saying there is no chance of such a change happening. They say that they are willing to talk, but we all know that's code for the president of the BCS saying to the president of the United States, "shut-up and let us govern ourselves."
But they like the enthusiasm. Economy? War in Iraq? Who cares, let's fix the BCS.

I love the idea of the BCS championship series. It is the only fair way to decide the number 1 team in 1A football. However, all of the companies who sponsor the bowls will protest and that will be the end of the BCS championship idea. They will use their clout to lobby against the idea.
