bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Jan 23, 2009 4:25 PM - Is the BCS championship game not a one game single elimination playoff of two teams which all teams are eligible for if they earn a top 2 ranking? -

It is also necessary to point out that all teams are not eligible. There have been many teams that have ended their season undefeated in the last 10 years that have had no chance or opportunity to play for the championship. Answered by a visitor on May 16, 2009 8:09 PM -
It can be considered a single game playoff as all teams are eligible through a relatively complicated BCS ranking system that includes strength of schedule. |
