ESPN - Congressmantakes aim at Bowl Championship Series

"This year, we again have two teams with one loss each playing for the 'championship,' while two undefeated teams and four additional teams with only one loss will play in bowl games, but none can become 'champion," he said.

When an Energy and Commerce subcommittee held a hearing about the BCS in 2005, lawmakers said they weren't going to pursue legislation.

"The BCS method of determining who is No. 1 consistently misfires," Barton said Wednesday. "Simply exposing the flaws and subjecting them to discussion ... hasn't led to improvement by those who run the system."

Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, didn't specify what sort of playoff he wants -- only that the BCS should go.

Government has their nose and money in too many things already.

This happens every year with the senator who's state has a team the gets snubbed by the BCS. Nothing ever comes of it and it really shouldnt have any attention paid to it.

Please keep congress out of it. I like the idea of a playoff system of some type. I just don't have faith that congress can keep from screwing it up like they do with almost everything else.

Somebody call for a "Waahhhmbulance" for that t-sip sissy. Congress should stick to doing what they do best, nothing.

As long as they keep it to 4 teams, and give no auto bids to conferences, it may be ok.
