College football has the best method hands down for determining the best team for that season. The entire body of work is taken into account and teams that sucked it up for parts of the season aren't given opportunities or hand outs at the end of the year. Basketball has it wrong. Yes, the NCAA tourney is exciting, but why should the 64th ranked team in the nation be given a shot at a team that worked it's butt off all year and is one of the best teams. Basically a tournament or playoff deminishies the regular season in my opinion. I would say at the end of the season the winner of the BCS national title game is usually the best team that year. I can't think of many instances where that could be wrong.
If a playoff diminishes regular season, what does that say about the regular season? Regular season is the fat girl, who's only important is b/c the fine ones are not there. Handouts? If anything a playoff eliminates handouts b/c you have to prove it on the field in an elimination environment. Regular season in CFB you can just lose 1 or 2 to subpar teams, then still win a NC like in '03 and 07

And in a play off system you could possibly lose 3 or more regular season games and still win the NC. How is that really any better to determine anything but who is the hot team for the playoffs? If the national champion is supposed to be the best overall team, a playoff doesn't guarantee anything, unless you have a system like pro baseball or pro basketball or with a best of multiple games series. A lesser team can prevail to knock off a better team in one game, but that doesn't prove who is the overall better team. The best team may get knocked out early in a one and done system. The current system tends to avoid that problem until the very last. Playoffs in football are simply overrated. It isn't the only way to get a legitimate national champion.

Ever watch the nfl
Perfection ain't easy chump...ESPECIALLY in the SEC...
also...did you know that when Tampa Bay won the Superbowl few years back they lost to the Saints for 2 of their 4 losses....i believe the saints only won 6 games maybe less that year. SO playoffs mean you couldn't lose to subpar? You need better arguments sir!
