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.
