Playoff PAC, a political action committee that wants the bowls replaced with a championship playoff system, plans to file a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday against the operators of the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange Bowls, three of the five games that constitute the Bowl Championship Series (the others are the Rose Bowl and the BCS title game).

A team of six lawyers and one accountant, working for no compensation, reviewed 2,300 pages of tax returns and public documents associated with all four bowls, said Playoff PAC co-founder Matthew Sanderson. ... The complaint was signed by Sanderson, a lawyer at Caplin & Drysdale who served as campaign finance lawyer for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, and two partners at the firm - Marcus Owens, former director of the IRS exempt organizations division, and Joe Birkenstock, a former chief counsel for the Democratic National Committee.

Where there's a college football bowl lawsuit, there's Orrin Hatch. You just have to know where to look.

If you really want to get the playoff talk going just watch what happens if we end up with this in January, 2011:

BCS Championship Game
Boise State vs TCU

The boys who created the BCS sure as hell didn't envision that match up.
