Consistent ten win seasons make us forget the other side. I am so thankful Texas is not Notre Dame, Tennessee, A&M, Michigan, Auburn, or countless other programs which have fallen on terrible times.
In his MNF interview he mentioned this, but when asked again for a 60 minutes interview he mentions that he wants to “throw his weight around a little bit” and get an 8 team playoff going….
Like him or not, this would be awesome if he keeps this up.
because any CEO that micromanage things, is not doing its job right. If the CEO cares too much about the type of donuts in the lounge, he is not caring enough about his important things.
If President cares too much about how the college football is being played, then he is not caring enough about the economy.
PS1. BCS is awesome, I love it.

And not making more of an effort to limit political discussion of it. To be honest, that’s why I didn’t Fanpost it, I just wanted to get this out without a headline. I figured with all the pro-playoff talk on here lately, people would simply appreciate the attention these comments bring to the problem.
What are ramifications of
Okie Lite vs CU for us, taking into account the upcoming Bedlam?

I guess for the computers
it’s better if the Buffs win

yup
we want our big 12 north opponents to win out

Thanks for all your hard work, Mack. I am so glad I have not had anything close to that feeling for over a decade.

Don't care
Maybe the teams should boycott the BCS until a playoff in instituted.

the real problems, not college football.

I’m glad he’s on it.

Do you really want the president of country to intervene on college football? Really?
Cyrus - November 15, 2008
If that's what it takes?
What do I care how it happens?
Peter Bean - November 15, 2008
It matters
because any CEO that micromanage things, is not doing its job right. If the CEO cares too much about the type of donuts in the lounge, he is not caring enough about his important things.

I don't care who intervenes..
As long as someone brings some sanity to the discussion. College football is the only sport that doesn’t decide its champion on the field. It’s silly.

In other news, Bama’s offense is, well, offensive.

Kick coverage, though, pretty good.
Brian.HalcYoN - November 15, 2008
If Congress can investigate the steroids scandal
I think that the president should be able to use his sway for a cfb playoff

Bad scouting from Bama.

Does anyone think Alabama is the best team in the nation?
Sure, they’re undefeated, but I really think an elite offense destroys this team.
