Re: Congressman calls hearing, says BCS ``deeply flawed\'\'
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] College football is a multi-billion dollar business like any other. If there is manifest unfairness within it, then Congress should take a look. [/ QUOTE ] The World Series of Poker has become a big business. If the blinds increase too fast, should Congress hold hearings. [/ QUOTE ] Compared to college football the WSOP is a drop in a bucket. Also, you'd have a hard time convincing me that it affects interstate commerce.

[/ QUOTE ] Remember, the Supreme Court has ruled that virtually everything affects interestate commerce. I remember Justice Breyer arguing that a law about not bringing guns close to a school was valid because of the interstate commerce clause. Anyway, as far as your point about the BCS being unfair. The 6 major conference winners get a bid (seems fair), and 2 at large teams, this year it will be Ohio State and Notre Dame. Both top 10 teams. If a 6-5 team gets a bid over a 10-1 team, then we could talk about unfairness, but I really don't see anything that terrible here. That being said, I would like to see an 8 team playoff.
