re: Need to let conference champs play it out

Then the conf champ from the strongest conf should have an easy time

What if, theoretically speaking, a one-loss team from said conference is just as good, if not better, than the conference champ?

Say for the sake of argument that this hypothetical team was without their star player or dealt with extenuating circumstances around the time of their game with the eventual conference champ (e.g. natural disaster, 2011 Oklahoma State plane crash, etc.)?

Are you telling me that this team should be withheld from participating in the playoffs even if they are substantially better than the majority of the other conference champs?
