WASHINGTON (AP) - A House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday
aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to
determine its national champion, over the objections of some lawmakers
who said Congress has meatier targets to tackle.
The bill, which faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a
postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national
championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by
voice vote in a House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee, with
one audible "no," from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga.
