...muddled method by which the sport anoints its national champion--has become a December rite. The chorus of critics includes Barack Obama, who opined in his first postelection interview that "any sensible person" would favor a playoff system to determine who's No. 1. And that was before the Oklahoma Sooners sped past Texas in this year's race to the BCS title game despite losing to the Longhorns 45-35 in October--a result purists say should logically make Texas the higher-ranked team...

"You wouldn't know what tomorrow's need was until tomorrow morning early," he says. "And it needed to be out that...

Instead, the Oklahoma native has chosen to live in sunny Santa Barbara, Calif., and has located his company, Strategic Perception, in sinful Hollywood. But he's had to pay a price for it all. The neighbors haven't exactly been friendly. Every day for about six months, he put a "John McCain for President" sign in front of his home. And almost every night it would be stolen.
