Joe Barton and Ron Jeremy Want a College Football Playoff

Senator Orrin Hatch, Representative Joe Barton and film star Ron Jeremy each recently have contributed interviews and promotional videos to collegefootballplayoff.org, a new social network dedicated to uniting all college football fans and advancing their desires for a playoff. The recent interview with Rep. Joe Barton and multiple humorous videos starring Ron Jeremy promoting a college football playoff are currently being featured on the site.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2009 -- It has been said that politics makes strange bedfellows, but none are stranger than the combination of Senator Orrin Hatch, Representative Joe Barton, and film star Ron Jeremy, each of whom has recently contributed interviews and videos to Collegefootballplayoff.org's ("CFP") initial efforts to promote a playoff.

CFP is a new social network created by a group of lifelong college football fans, including a pair of attorneys and a film producer. The group is dedicated to uniting fans from all universities, backgrounds and political persuasions in the fight against the biased and unfair BCS system. Through articles, forums, contests, and sale items (including giant foam middle fingers emblazoned "F the B*S"), CFP offers site members interactive opportunities to voice their frustrations about the current system and promote their specific desires about a playoff.
Congressmen Hatch and Barton have granted CFP exclusive interviews about the inequities of the BCS and their respective efforts to push for a playoff. Previously, Senator Hatch had contended that "under a fairer system, revenue distribution and berths in the most lucrative and prestigious bowl games would be determined on the field, not by pre-existing agreements."

When the 120 football teams start practicing during the summer - most are eliminated before the first snap, no matter how good of a season they have. It is a sad reality, but only a handful of teams actually have a chance of hoisting that crystal football trophy at the end of the season.

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>Similarly, Rep. Barton, in his November 9 interview with CFP, pointed out his frustrations with the BCS system: "When the 120 football teams start practicing during the summer - most are eliminated before the first snap, no matter how good of a season they have. It is a sad reality, but only a handful of teams actually have a chance of hoisting that crystal football trophy at the end of the season."
CFP's first videos featuring Ron Jeremy promoting a college football playoff were recently unveiled. As the winner of CFP's 1st Annual "Most Incredible Man in the World," Mr. Jeremy stars in a series of ads that parody Dos Equis' "Most Interesting Man in the World" and culminate in Mr. Jeremy's calls for a playoff. The first two episodes in the series of videos can be seen on CFP's Home page, at collegefootballplayoff.org. Additional videos can be seen on CFP's Premium Content page, freely accessible to site members.
Congressmen Hatch and Barton were also among CFP's initial list of influential people who have (or can) change the BCS. Others include actor Will Ferrell, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, and talk show host Stephen Colbert. CFP's "50 Most Incredible People" list also is available for viewing on the site's Premium Content page.
If you'd like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with CFP Creative Director Justin Brewer, please call (310) 707-5312.

College formula renders “Big Game” meaningless

Civil War is one of the biggest in history, but will have no effect on a national title

By David Ball
The Gresham Outlook, Dec 1, 2009, Updated 8.4 hours ago
This year’s Civil War showdown may be the biggest in the 112-year history of the series with both teams ranked in the top-20 and the winner claiming a Rose Bowl bid. I can barely walk out to my car this week without bumping into someone who wants to talk about the game — go Beavers, by the way. Anticipation for this one has been building for two weeks, and many people are shifting work plans to take in the Thursday night game broadcast to a national audience on ESPN.
It’s too bad that the game means nothing.
Sure one of these teams will play in a big-money bowl with a rich history when all is said and done, but the BCS scam that rules college football has forced both teams out of the race for the big prize — a national title.
Supporters of the system argue that it makes every game important in the college football season, but nothing could be further from the truth.
The final week of the regular season has 17 matchups, but only two will have any impact on the national championship chase — the title games in the SEC and Big-12.
And if you’re not in one of the major conferences, forget about it. Your entire season is rendered pointless. Never has that been more evident than 2009 where we have six unbeaten teams headed into the final set of games. Out of that group Texas Christian (11-0) and Boise State (12-0) play in lower-tier leagues and have no hope of being included in the championship discussion. Cincinnati (11-0), a member of the Big East, belongs to one of the BCS power conferences but has also been largely ignored.
Basically, the rankings are set up to reward the top-tier teams in a handful of leagues, leaving the rest of the country to battle for consolation prizes. The Big 10, SEC and Big 12 have claimed two-thirds of the at-large bids since the system was put in place in 1998.
College football would be better served to end the season with a playoff bracket as it does in its lower divisions. Keep the BCS formula and use it as a measuring stick to determine a 16-team championship field.
The higher seeded teams would have homefield advantage in the first round, while the traditional bowls (Rose, Fiesta, Orange and Sugar) would host quarterfinal matchups. A predetermined site, much like the Super Bowl, could be used for the semifinal and championship games.
I’m guessing that the Selection Show for revealing the bracket would draw better ratings than most of the bowl games that we’ll see next month.
Bringing a bracket into play would give the NCAA a month filled with blockbuster showdowns and lend a dose of credibility to its title game.
Under a playoff system, Thursday night’s game would take on a whole new level of importance. Oregon would be playing for homefield advantage, and the Beavers would be battling for a place in the bracket.
As it is now, the winner gets a parade and a bouquet of roses.

Above is a projected 16-team bracket if a playoff system would be in place this season. The bracket assumes victories this weekend for Florida, Texas, Oregon State, Cincinnati and Boise State.

On Offense: Advocates of College Football Playoffs Run TV Ads

By John D. McKinnon
Playoff PAC, a group that aims to replace the current college-football Bowl Championship Series with a playoff system, is taking its message to TV.
The group plans to run an ad in selected markets in coming days -– before Thursday’s championship game between the University of Texas and the University of Alabama — that chides the BCS for alleged unfairness to schools that aren’t members of the powerhouse conferences that dominate the BCS.
The ad samples from a radio interview late last year in which BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said that “not everybody can play” for the national title. “Yes they can,” the ad concludes. “It’s called a playoff.”
The ad will be running in local markets where schools have recently been denied a chance to play in the BCS championship game. Those include undefeated Boise State University and Texas Christian University this year, and the University of Utah, which went undefeated last year. Schools from lesser-known conferences contend that they’re effectively shut out of the title game by the BCS ranking system, and say that the BCS also gives outsized shares of earnings to the old-line conferences.
BCS representatives contend that the current system strikes the best balance of preserving the traditional bowl system, while also simplifying the system of choosing a national champion. Before the BCS was created about a decade ago, choosing the national champion was a chaotic process that was basically left up to national polls.
Some congressional critics of the BCS –- including Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee -– are siding with the playoff advocates and are pushing legislation that would effectively end the BCS system. Their bill passed a subcommittee late last year, but its prospects for becoming law are uncertain at best.
