Let’s fight over college football!

The Hill’s Jordan Fabian: Washington heavyweights join fans in demanding a college playoff

The issue gained ground in Washington a year ago when Obama lent his voice to sports fans around the nation frustrated with the absence of a college football playoff and reached a fever pitch this month when a House subcommittee approved legislation that would pressure the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) to adopt one.

…

The BCS responded by hiring its own political heavyweights, including Fleisher and the lobbying firm run by former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-Okla.).

…

Texas and Alabama will play on Jan. 7 for this year’s national championship, two of five undefeated teams ranked by the BCS.

James Carville

“Ari couldn’t be a [college football] fan and defend the BCS,” Carville said. “It’s incompatible. If you love college football, you have to hate the BCS.”

Ari Fleischer

Fleischer responded by saying Carville is having a hard time because his favorite team, Louisiana State, finished 9-3 and No. 12 in the rankings.

…

“James has long identified as someone who hates the BCS,” Fleischer said. “He’s an LSU fan, so he’s having a tough year and I don’t see any reason to make his year any tougher.”

Ouch. One point for Ari.

So, do we blame Les Miles ?
