Should government get involved in the BCS ?

[The Duke]

Congress has every right to regulate businesses that break the law, are monopolistic, or harm conusmers.

The BCS, whatever its flaws, come nowhere near being one of these three things, in fact not only isn't it an abusive business, its not a business at all!

[The Duke]

I oppose a playoff altogether.  Why is there an obsession with having a National Champion?  Why is there and obsession with making college football like every other sport?  By emphasizing the one National Championship game, you are degrading the other games.  Who cares about the Orange Bowl except FSU & PSU alums and football nuts?  No one, because the Championship is out in Pasadena.  The National Title game is all that matter now, and that lessens the importance of the other Bowls, weakening the sport.  Not to mention it ruins the regular season if you add a playoff because the pressure is not on in every game the way it is now.
