Job # 1: College Football Playoff:
From Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel: "“I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football,” Obama said Monday on ESPN. “I’m fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other. Get eight teams – the top eight teams right at the end. You got a playoff. Decide on a national champion.”
Now, you’re obviously a shrewd and intelligent politician. Not revealing this until the eve of the election was a huge oversight, though.
There are few topics in America that generate such widespread support as the abolishment of the BCS. Other than four conference commissioners, few favor the current foolishness over a playoff.
The anti-BCS people are passionate, too. They have detailed plans, websites and emotional anger due to past disasters. Go ask a Southern California fan about 2003. They’d march on Washington if they thought it would help."
"Look, dealing with war and rebuilding the economy, those are difficult challenges. This is simple. It could be resolved in a week. And, since you’re a politician and always eyeing the next election, it’s worth noting that delivering a playoff would go a long way toward ensuring that second term you’ve already started talking about.
Who would vote against the man who freed us from the tyranny of the BCS?
Everyone says a playoff can’t be done, that the entrenched interests are too powerful. No one even fathomed executive influence, though. If Kennedy could demand a man on the moon, this should be a snap.
A suggestion for the inaugural address: “Mr. Delany, tear down this wall!”
Yes We Can."
