News and Notes for September 23

The AP has an exclusive on a political action committee's challenge to the tax-exempt status of the BCS

According to the AP article, Playoff PAC is planning to file a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service today. The complaint is to be lodged against three of the five BCS bowls, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange. The Rose Bowl was found to be free of irregularities.

Ultimately the PAC aims to change the current BCS system, if the irregularities to be brought up in the complaint, are successful.

The Idaho-Statesman has posted some commentary from the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel's Pete DiPrimio, who for two consecutive weeks, is the only AP voter to rank Boise State first.

Among DiPrimio's arguments for ranking the Broncos first include, Boise State being in every one's top-5 preseason rankings, and not penalizing them for Virginia Tech's loss to James Madison.
