At least on this one point.
It is the right thing to do. So is cutting taxes, Barack.
NEW YORK (AP) -- It's not exactly at the top of his agenda, but President-elect Barack Obama says there should be a college football playoff to determine a national champion. In fact, he knows exactly what he wants -- an eight-team playoff.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Obama addresses a subject college football fans have debated for many years, and says he will use his influence to create such a system.
"If you've got a bunch of teams whoplay throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner. We should be creating a playoff system," he tells CBS' Steve Kroft in an interview to be broadcast Sunday.
According to Obama's proposed system, eight teams would play over three rounds to settle the national champion.
"It would add three extra weeks to the season,"he said at the conclusion of a wide-ranging interview. "You could trim back on the regular season. I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I'm going to throw my weight around a little bit. I think it's the right thing to do."

He has to show his college documents before he has standing on this issue. You notice he sees the need to introduce "fairness", of course. I think the ambiguity is good as it reinforces the college level thought that the stupid games are not all that damn significant. Leave it be. Good God.
