In the article, Still a Bunch of Losers, Josh Levin argues that there should not be a champion in college football this year. If everyone remembers Mike's presentation about the BCS, he argues that the BCS was not a legitimate way to rank football teams in college football. The article talks about the major loses just this past weekend and how they prove that there is no single champion in college football this year. Every week since October 1st, a number one or number two team in the nation lost to another unranked team. The playoff idea just seems not to work because there would have to be so many extra games played, and will all the upsets that have happened this year, nothing could be accomplished.
This article is very critical about the thought that all the ranked college teams have lost big games and have proven that there is no true champion. I totally agree with his argument, and I think it is absurd to name a team a champion after not truly proving it. Some kind of system needs to be worked out so that this cannot occur anymore.

I hope I do not make a fool of myself for this blog considering I do not know all the ins and outs of college football, which I am sure Jimmy and Mike do.
Anyways, in terms of the article, "Still a Bunch of Losers," by Josh Levin, I think that his point of view is quite contradictory to mine. I guess that I personally have not played a sport where there has not been one overall winner of a certain league, state, region, or nation. I understand that college football is competitive and teams are always proving new things, but I think there needs to be some sort of system to organize national leaders. I believe that there should be a national bowl system or a playoff system, I am not sure which of the two is better, but I do believe that there needs to be some organizational system in which a national leader can be recognized.
I think that if we were to install a playoff system, teams would change their tactics and the competition would become fiercer. The competition would then cause teams to decrease their fluctuation.
