Yes He Can

Just in case you guys missed it, our President-elect has pledged to "throw his weight around" to help fix the BCS:

"If you've got a bunch of teams who play 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."

How is this not a good idea? Why has it taken so long to get here? Must be the fault of the liberal media.

For the record, reforming the BCS was my number one concern this election season, right after "which candidate has the most obscure ties to terrorists and anti-Americans in his past." Hence, I supported Obama. Because I'm all about the major issues of the day. Of course if I'd known he was going to slam Nancy Reagan in his first press conference I might have voted differently, despite his apology.
