This...THIS...is what our elected officials are spending their time on! How is it possible that the Senate remotely thinks that they need to be involved? I'll tell you why. Votes. The current college football bowl system leaves much to be desired and many fans feel that the system doesn't accurately select the best teams to play in the title game. My belief is that if the government mandates a more "fair" system, fans will be happy and thus vote for them. Is this really what we have come to?
