With college football's seemingly bottomless bowl season filling countless hours of television time, a Quinnipiac University Polling Institute survey released this morning shows 63 percent favor getting rid of the current Bowl Championship Series and replacing it with a playoff system similar to college basketball's March Madness tournament. Only 26 percent want to keep the BCS, but the majority of almost 2,000 polled don't want to see Congress get involved. Earlier this month, a House subcommittee approved legislation that would make it illegal to promote a national championship game "or make a similar representation," unless it results from a playoff. While there is no Senate version of the bill, President Obama has voiced his support on the campaign trail. Setting aside health-care, global warming, the economy, national defense, environmental issues, foreign trade and immigration for a moment, a politically-correct solution is certainly just around the corner.
