The pressing issue for leading lawmakers in Michigan isn't the economy or the war... it's college football. The top Democrat and Republican in the State Senate have introduced legislation calling for a head-to-head playoff system to replace the convoluted Bowl Championship Series that decides who will play for the national title based on computer rankings and votes.

The resolution comes after the University of Michigan was passed over for a shot at the championship in favor of the University of Florida — despite both teams having only one loss.

Republican Leader Mike Bishop called it an "injustice," saying subjectivity should be removed from a process that has financial and emotional repercussions.
