CFB is only in week 5, but this statement seems to be true. There are still big games to be played no doubt, but no one has looked like Bama thus far.

Also helps that in the NFL any team can win the championship if they win out.

In college football 1/2 of the teams have no chance regardless of what they do. Certain teams get mulligans that no one else will get. Conference titles are meaningless. It’s a horrible system.

I prefer FCS over FBS. Win your conference and you get a shot. Granted you might get killed by NDSU in the first round but you at least had a chance.

I find college regular season means less and less with certain teams getting those free passes and it has hurt enjoyment of the product.

Meanwhile in the NFL if the Saints/Panthers and Cowboys all enter the last week at 9-6 I’m watching those games as it will determine who has a shot at the Super Bowl and who gets to play golf early.

NFL isn’t putting a a 10-6 second in their division Cowboys team over a 10-6 division champ Saints just because they are Dallas. Saints, as division champs, get the nod. They get rewarded for winning their division while Dallas stays home for failing to do so.

The rules are very clear.

In cfb a 1 loss division runner up Alabama is possibly getting in over a 1 loss Big Ten champion Wisconsin team. Their is no criteria to get in the playoffs. It’s a very stupid way to pick a champion.

Conference championships should hold more weight than the name on the front of your jersey or the money in your athletic department.

I’m not trying to pick on Alabama as their are a few teams that would get the same “get out of jail free” card.
