CFB Playoff

That's my point, and it all gets back to what you're trying to accomplish in crowning your champion. The Super Bowl does a fine job of crowing the best team CURRENTLY, but it does a poor job of crowning "best team for the 2014-2015 season." Going back to "every game matters," college football has always been about the entirety of the season, not a back-loaded what-have-you-done-for-me-lately postseason hype-fest.

So is it Carolina's fault that Arizona did a crappy job not getting better back up QB's? With a decent QB Arizona is a better team but with Lindley Carolina is the better team.

You're comparing apples and oranges.

I don't get it. So the Panthers winning and beating a horrid Cardinals team (2-4 in their last 6) is your "proof" that the playoffs are flawed? You would rather have seen the Cardinals rewarded for being good in the beginning of the year and then imploding?

How about we just concentrate on the egregiously bad officiating in the NFL.

No it hasn't, when you lose has always played a major factor in college football. If ND lost to BC the first game of the year in 93' and then ran the table, they would have been crowned National Champs. Instead they lost late in the year and didn't have time to catch up. There are countless examples of this throughout college football history.

The best way a regular season can be used to crown a champion is European soccer. 20 teams in the English League, everyone plays each other twice (home and home). There is an equality to it. With football (both pro and college), scheduling plays a huge impact and can dictate how your season goes making a playoff system a fairer way to crown a champ, IMO.

I completely agree. Know who's schedule closely resembled that system? The Big 12, and they got screwed for it.

Agree but I still like their setup the best although I don't like that they just call everyone co-champs. Baylor should have been the Big 12 Champ this year, or at least someone should have.
