I'm pretty sure college games are still played on the field and the results of those do factor in to who "wins" the title. You (and most other people) think only a specially designated final game legitimizes a championship.

The problem with CFB is, there are too many teams playing different schedules, so it's rare that you have 1 team that clearly distinguishes itself as the best through the regular season. Sometimes (I'd argue 2011 was one such time) one team does, but most of the time there is too much subjectivity. So the fairest solution is to have a limited # of teams in a playoff. Keeping it exclusive keeps the intgrity of the regular season in tact, while still giving all teams a chance to control their won destiny.

Outstanding point. In college sports there has to be some cutoff and that will involve some degree of subjective voting.
