College Football Needs a Commissioner

College football is the most nakedly self-interested of all the sports we love. 

That's why it's failings are the most human, the most susceptible to special interest capture, the least logical, a banana football republic.

Most sports have a common interest that unites them in pursuit of a common pot of championship gold, college football does not.

Think about the sports you love for a minute, it's easy for the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, the NHL, hell, even college basketball to decide upon an egalitarian method of crowning a champion.

Why?

Because in their essence these are all benevolent dictatorships on a yearly quest to distribute money to winners.
