OOOOOO(really)Obama

Now as many of you may know by now, or should know by now, is that Barrack Obama is our new president. Another thing some of you may know is Obama's take on college football and a playoff system. In case you don't know, i'll fill you in. During half-time of the Steelers-Redskins game, Barrack Obama was asked if he could change one thing about sports, what would it be? He said that if he were president, he would make it so that their is a college play-off system. Now most people (not including my-self) thought "Really? GO OBAMA! We want play-offs!"

Personally I'm not a fan of College football having a play-off system because I think that every year, even though it may have a few weird or out of place rankings, the best team always shows in the championship. Pete Carroll is just upset about the BCS because he lost to Oregon state and now he can't be #1 so he has to blame it on somebody. In 2004 he didn't complain about the BCS because he was #1. But the main question that this half-time interview left me was, "Can he really do that?". As the President of the United States, you can change alot, actually that's his moto; change. But he can only change so much. He can't reach into the NCAA organization and force them to have a College play-off system. You just can't. That's like saying (just using this as an example) if he doesn't like strawberry ice-cream and thinks it's horrible, he can shut down the production of strawberry ice-cream (again just using it as an example). When I read this article after the half-time of the Steelers-Redskins game, I thought, OOOOOO(really)OBAMA.
