LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Former USC star Anthony Davis announced the creation Friday of a "grassroots fan alliance" to push Congress to help create a college football playoff system.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Davis, an all-America player for USC in the 1970s and a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, said a Web site, www.bcsreform.org, was set up "because it will take an act of Congress before fans see college football playoffs."

The site establishes "a grassroots fan alliance to give college football fans and former players a unified voice to help pass pro-playoff laws in Congress", Davis said.

The national champion is now decided in the controversial Bowl Championship Series. There have been increasing calls to set up a playoff system instead.

"Fan outrage over the recurring controversies of who has played in the BCS National Championship Game has become an annual ritual", a bcsreform news release said. "It's time for fans to come together and harness this energy to finally bring about college football playoffs."

A resolution was introduced in the House Friday by Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif., that promotes a playoff system.
