Utah Legislature Wants A College Football Playoff

The state of Utah striking while the iron is hot wants a college football playoff so their beloved Utes don't get screwed again.

The Utah State Senate unanimously approved a resolution calling for a national college football playoff system in lieu of the BCS. The bill aims to "address what some Utah football fans considered an unforgivable slight when the team did not get a chance to play for a national championship this year, despite being the only undefeated Division 1-A team in the country."

After the senate vote, the Utes were honored by both chambers of the Utah state government.

Utah Senate President Michael Waddoups, a BYU graduate said, "On a day like this even Cougars can be Utes."

Now that is bi-partisan times 2. Not only can Democrats and Republicans agree on that bill but even BYU fans are joining Utah fans recognizing what the Utes accomplished.

There's hope for Washington if they can get it right in Salt Lake City.

The question around the OSG HQ is why is the Utah state government getting involved. Sure its a big deal in the Beehive State but aren't there other pressing issues that need to be addressed? School funding, road projects, etc. You can kick and scream all the want to but the lords of the BCS aren't interested as long as the checks keep coming in.
