Apparently some people are still ticked off that a few other teams didn't get to play in the National Championship game. Article and link below.
A handful of lawmakers used a resolution commending the University of Florida's national football championship Thursday to protest college football's much-maligned BCS system.
"A fine school with a great team deserves better than a national championship that was decided inside somebody's computer," said Rep. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican who has introduced legislation to force a playoff system. "The Gators certainly could have won it on the field, but they didn't get the chance any more than Utah, Texas and USC."

They did that in 2005 and NCAA added the at-large bids to the BCS.
The Sherman Antitrust Act applies to the NCAA (Supreme Ct. decision in '95) so they can't be seem as anti-competitive and avoid violations.
I doubt this gets us to a playoff but maybe there will be some other tweak to make the screw job of the smaller conference schools less overt.
