Can anyone argue against this and convince me otherwise?

College Baseball is pretty damn tough as well.

Well for the teams that actually have a chance to win it you have to basically win 5 competitive games all season. The kicker is they have to be in a row. But still, not that difficult to get up for 5 games over 2 1/2 weeks.

I wouldn't say this at all.
you get 2 chances at it in baseball as it is a double elimination throughout.
having 2 chances makes it easier if you are the top team.

No way. Football is, by far, the hardest. You have so little margin of error to get there.
There are many teams eliminated from the BCS NC in week 1 of the regular season. There are bball teams that have won titles with 10 losses.

Well since 2000
11 different schools have won ncaab tourney
10 different schools have won bcs
10 different schools have won cws
So it might be the easiest to win.

Meh. A team can win the championship without being the best team in the country.

In modern CFB, you likely have to be the best team to win the ship.
In CBB, you don't.
So if being the best is the apex, then CFB is harder to win a ship than CBB.
Of course that is offset by the "5 tough wins games in a row" hurdle that cannot be deviated from or avoided.

If you're #1 seed you play crap teams. Sometimes you don't even play top tier team in elite 8 game. Florida played Dayton yesterday.
Now is the real crunch time. If Florida beat 2 legit teams now they win the ship.
But I agree if you're 11 seed it's tough to get there.

It seems you like this trait in basketball so maybe I can convince you that it's bad.
These teams have dozens of games over several months to prove themselves. We get a good idea about who the best teams are...then just throw that away to have a tournament. We give the bad teams (and there are plenty of them) just one more chance to save their season and give the teams that were good all year one more chance to fail.
Another threat pointed out that since 2008 only 25% of the top seeded teams entering the tournament made it to the Final Four. This stat may prove your point but to me it also shows that the tournament is the least effective way to have truly the two best teams play for the championship.
Tl;dr: the post season almost entirely negates the regular season.

NFL. It has the best/most parity.

Football is the hardest, imo. One slip up and you're done. Especially if you're not a big time program.
