How ironic that politics and Division I College Football go hand in hand. In both cases people lobby for their Candidate/Team who should be number one. Many on all sides may bring valid points to the table but theirs no clear cut outright winner unless put to the test. Even undefeated such as Pro Football's New England Patriots must face down the top challenging foes to claim the ultimate prize. They are not automatically inducted or voted in nor are they lobbied in, their record and actions on the field is a result of where they stand today, challenging for the Championship and a share of immortality with the 72' Dolphins. In order to break this opionionated and unproven closure of crowning a "Division-I champion" or "Leaders of the People"...I say we let them contest their quest Gladiator style, in a arena however, politicians campaign with swords, shields, nets, body armor,spiked balls on a stick, etc...The victorious move on and the hungry lions enjoy the spoils. A little to "barbaric" "BARBARIC" ? (Sen Byrd quote) Well, I guess bogus elections and votes on Electronic disfuntional Diebold machines have to do this day and age. WAKE UP AMERICA !
