As much as I would like to see a college playoff system to determine the Nation's college championship, really, doesn't he have enough facing him on his priority list before he "Changes" college football?

He ran on his ability to multi-task...

I sure hope THIS matter takes priority over the U.S. economy issues, the war on terrorism and health insurance plans. :

I don't think the president should get involved. It's for the people playing the sport, coaching the sport, and just working around CFB to decide, period. Not the prez.

You guys are taking things out of context...

Obama was asked if he could change something in sports, what would it be...?  Or something along those lines. The answer was making a eight-team college football playoff. Isn't that the same thing he said when interviewed by Chris Berman by ESPN a few weeks ago?

You Grand Ole Party-Poopers need to calm down!

LOL

I hear Sarah "hot-legs" Palin is going to be the "head" cheerleader and HillarYous "fugly" Clinton is going to be the ball boy..uuhhh...girl.

He's wrong anyway--it should be 16 teams with every conference champ guaranteed a spot.

Thanks for pointing that out.  However, unlike Bob West, we should keep political conversations out of the sports talk.

16 teams is just 4 extra games. Highschool play more games for a state championship...

Lets go March madness style and have 932 teams in it.

Already have a 16 team playoff for the NCAA Division I title. I do not see what's wrong with the picture...  ;D
