The Rules Of Cheering For College Football Anarchy

I don’t mean it in the “it’s a terrible sport and you should all feel ashamed of yourselves for participating and/or watching it” kind of way. What I mean is that Bowl Subdivision college football is ridiculous because it’s not an officially recognized NCAA sport.

Don’t believe me? Here’s the trophy that the winner of the College Football Playoff gets:
