Obama's First Order of Business...College Football Playoffs

Last night on 60 Minutes President-elect Barack Obama once again reiterated that he'd like to see college football institute a playoff system and do away with the current BCS platform. BCS coordinator John Swofford had this to say:

"First of all I want to congratulate newly elected President Obama and I am glad he has a passion for college football like so many other Americans," Swofford said in a statement. "For now, our constituencies -- and I know he understands constituencies -- have settled on the current BCS system, which the majority believe is the best system yet to determine a national champion while also maintaining the college football regular season as the best and most meaningful in sports."

Seriously? That's the best you could come up with? Honestly...I've never heard one person mention that the BCS is the right way to crown a national champion. It makes no sense and I think Obama should make this his first order of business.
