Obama Renews Calls for College Football Playoffs
Updated 9:30 AM PST, Fri, Jan 9, 2009
WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama says he still thinks there needs to be a playoff system for determining the country's college football champion.
Obama, asked what he thought about Florida's 24-14 victory Thursday night over Oklahoma in the BCS championship game, congratulated the Gators and said he'd sent a message to a friend whose son plays for the team.
At the same time, he said, "If I'm Utah, or if I'm USC or if I'm Texas, I might still have some quibbles."
Obama said, "That's why we need a playoff."
