Happy 150 College Football. What a shame.

As we continue to celebrate the 150th season of American College Football, it is so very sad that after 150 years we still HAVE NOT crowned a legitimate college football champion. What, do you say?! No, we have never had a legitimate champion of college football.

Why? Because from the very beginning of intercollegiate play, there has been an outside entity "awarding" a national championship i.e. The Princeton Tigers and Rutgers Queensmen in 1869. There has never been, and there still is not a playoff system to determine a champion. The system that is currently used is a complete joke because the teams are still picked to enter a bracket. 

I have always referred to college football as "the twilight zone" of sports. The reason is simple. Every sport that depends on a score or a finish line to determine a winner has some sort of mechanism to determine a champion. In baseball, we have a college world series. In basketball, we have the NCAA tournament and so on and so on. Only those sports such as boxing and gymnastics, were there is subjective judging to determine a winner, are relegated to controversy and debate. Plain and simple a championship, in this case in collage football, is won by playing for a national championship. A championship is not won by someone voting for who they think deserves to win a championship. Anyone who argues that point is a moron. They are living in the twilight zone. How can smart and intelligent people, on the one hand, laud the NCAA college basketball tournament, college world series and other tournaments which crown a legitimate champion and on the other hand, dismiss implementing a REAL college football playoff to finally crown a legitimate champion.

Shame on the status quo and shame on whoever supports the status quo. Shame on you who have robbed all those athletes for all those years of a shot to win a coveted national title.
