if this is your starting point, there is nothing of worth following it, because that is a flawed system

Bama has already proven it is better than Florida over the course of the season by winning the SEC. Florida might very well be #2, but the goal of a playoff isn't to crown the #2 team. It's to crown the #1 team, and Florida has exactly ZERO claim that they are the best team in the country.



but teams with 2, 3 4, etc losses that win conferences do?

Then win your conference. Until you can determine with 100% accuracy which conferences are best in a given year, excluding conference champs for also rans defeats the purpose of a playoff.

Which is why playoffs suck and the BCS is the best way to determine a champion in American sports.

a playoff system built around conference champs is so mind-numblingly dumb that my brain can't even process the thoughts



Yet everyone must see that there's no way university presidents/ADs/etc will agree to any system that doesn't give each BCS conference an auto bid into the playoffs.

We can talk about all of this in future BCS v Playoff threads

You can't do that because SFP doesn't like arbitrary ranking systems except the BCS. It's like anti-playoff people create the worst possible playoff imaginable and then criticize that system for its flaws.

A conference champ only system removes arbitrary rankings, but its unacceptable because a "better" team will be left out, which is of course an arbitrary ranking. But thats when rankings are okay, to talk about the unfairness of teams left out of a hypothetical playoff.
