Dear President-elect Obama,

I know you're fairly busy at the moment. Your inauguration is less than two weeks away, you're working on an economic recovery plan that needs to be passed ... well, yesterday, and there's a war going on overseas. So, yeah, I do feel a bit silly writing you an open letter about college football in times like these.
