re: Why is it so much more difficult to go undefeated in CFB today than in the past?

1. Parity. There are many more great football teams these days.
2. More games. You used to play an 11 game regular season and then a bowl game (only the SEC and Big12 had conference title games for along time). Now you play 12, you play a conference title game, and in the CFP era up to 2 more games. It's a hell of a lot harder to go 14-0 or 15-0 than it is 12-0.

The OP is asking why the National Champ hasn't been undefeated as much as in the past. The fact is that once you get to a conference championship game you MUST go undefeated to become the National Champ... So you really only have to go 11-0 or 12-0... then you MUST win your remaining games to stay in the hunt for the National Champ... 1 of those teams is going to win it by the process of elimination.
