House Panel Passes College Football Playoff Bill - Our tax dollars at work?

The bill, which faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with one audible "no," from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.

"With all due respect, I really think we have more important things to spend our time on," Barrow said before the vote, although he stressed he didn't like the current Bowl Championship Series, either.

2. But the BCS is in chaos again!
This isn't meddling, it's for the better good of all Americans!

3. God forbid they work on something useful.
Like health care for every American, or a plan to put America back to work.
