I want a playoff as well, I do not want congress to force them to do it.

If there is tax payer money involved, be it for the school or the athletics program, government should be involved just as many want the government involved in banks, insurance, automobile, CEO/employee pay, GM's CEO jobs and health care. At least that's the excuse I hear.

On the other hand if you really want "fair" then let the free market aka. Las Vagas set the rules and run it officially. There would be a lot less pandering, politicizing, graft and bullshit funny business going on than in the current structure.

Or, let the players vote on it. They are ones that would risk further injury by adding games to the season.

The Gov't should stay out....I am all for a playoff, but, less Gov't is he best Gov't.

Well, in college, I do not know if that is the best way to do it. With players in for at most four years, many less than that.
Let the colleges vote on it. If they pass it, it will be a condition of the scholorship, just like now.

except for the lack of mispelled words and proper diction,
that sounds like something bob would say. :)
