Barack Obama’s comments on the lack of a college football playoff system are very much being heard in all the right places.

Michael Wilbon:

In fact, it’s become the No. 1 topic this week in college football and forced another national discussion that those of us with good sense not only welcome, but find a relief. Suddenly, the conference commissioners and college presidents are having to defend their indefensible positions and explain why the championships of every team sport in every division, except big-time football, are settled through playoffs. Of course, it’s great to see them squirm. This isn’t a sportswriter making the suggestion; it’s the newly elected president of the United States, for crying out loud.
