Friday's discussion on the fairness of the current BCS system before a House of Representatives subcommittee will be shown live on C-SPAN. Interested fans can also watch the proceedings live online here. The discussion is slated to run from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 a.m.
In related news, Joe Paterno told a pack of reporters on Thurdsay night that he would like to see the Big Ten expand to a twelfth team to allow the conference to play a league championship game. It's a move that Paterno thinks would give the conference a better shot a competing for a national title.
"I've tried to talk to the Big Ten people about, 'Let's get a 12th team -- Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt -- we could have a little bit of a playoff,'" Paterno said.
The coach also fielded questions about the possibility of a team from the Northeast winning a national title, something that hasn't happened since the Lions captured one after the 1986 season.
"The only [Northeastern] team that's got a shot would be us, and yet we've got a tough job because the Big Ten is not as visible in the key times as the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12."
