The college football playoff committee needs to be disbanded and the current members need to be shown the exit after their disgraceful actions on “Black Sunday.”

It became crystal clear on “Black Sunday” that they’re just making things up as they go. Conference championships don’t matter, wins don’t seem to matter and nobody has any idea what is going on. The world is being turned upside down.

Also, I coined “Black Sunday” as the term to commemorate this embarrassing day for college football. Please credit me whenever referencing it. That way you’d at least have more honor than the members who picked the college football playoff bracket.

I went to the Washington Capitals game last night. It was great. My one coworker wore a hockey helmet the whole game, the Caps crushed the San Jose Sharks and I realized something while at the game. One of the guys I went with is an Ohio State fan. Our conversation quickly turned to Alabama being picked over the Buckeyes. We pretty much both instantly agreed this committee is making things up as they go.

Works great for Indiana Jones. Doesn’t seem to work great for college football.

It was also during that conversation when I fully realized how important this battle was. Ohio State fans were uniting behind me, a Wisconsin fan, as I carry a torch in this fight. This is no longer just about football. This is about freedom, the truth and what is right. That’s what America is all about.

In order to save America I now fundamentally believe that the football committee has got to go.

What are we in this country if rules, logic and common sense don’t matter anymore? I hate to even suggest this, but they all need to be thrown out.

We need to hit the restart button and maybe it ends with me running the show. I don’t know. I’m just floating ideas.

How am I the only person with a national platform talking about this? Literally everybody was fed Alabama and then just acted like it’s no big deal. Embarrassing. They can all sellout, and I’ll just keep telling the truth.

Shoutout to all the Ohio State fans who have fallen in line behind me. What a wild world we’re living in that a Wisconsin Badger has essentially become the unofficial leader of a large region of this country. Don’t worry to my people in the Midwest. Unlike the committee, I will not disappoint you.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
