Advantages of the Perp

1. It continues college football's emphasis on the regular season since the title is contested every week the title holder plays. Fans can find out who the Perp is on a weekly basis. No need to wait until January.
2. It can coexist with the current, laughable, BCS system or any future playoff system.
3. There's no need to poll coaches' grad assistants (USA Today) or random people who only watch two or three games per week (Harris, legends etc.). The only other national championship recognized by the PNC committee is the one handed out by the Associated Press.

About the Perpetual National Championship

The Perpetual National Championship is a title awarded to college football teams in a boxing-style system. The title is contested every time the holder of the title steps onto the field. The first title was awarded to Rutgers in 1869 after they defeated Princeton 6-4 in the first-ever college football game. Princeton retook the title seven days later beating Rutgers 8-0.

The winner of the title match receives a yet-to-be designed belt called, affectionately, the Perp. We'll get back to you when we actually have one, but what we have in mind is a big cowboy/boxing title belt with an infinity symbol and some serious bling.

The All-Time Perps are the team who won or defended the Perpetual National Championship the most times. To determine the All-Time Perp we gave 1 point to a team for winning of defending the title and 0 points for a tie.

Since Div I college football (The PNC doesn't recognize FBS as a name) doesn't currently have a playoff and relies on voters to determine a championship game, the Perpetual Nation Championship is the only national championship decided on the field.

The PNC committee was organized in late 2008 because the world was desperate for a championship where the teams involved actually decided the title. We used to have the following conversation every four years with our wife:
Us, "I don't think gymnastics is a sport because the individuals don't actually determine the outcome. The judges do."
Wife, "The two teams who play in college football's national championship are determined in a similar fashion."

Beholden to two diabolically opposing forces (intellectual honesty and college football) we had to find a way to save our beloved sport from this trap. Thus the Perp was born.
