Because the NFL system is flawed and gives teams a chance to do what they couldn't do in the 16 game season.

o next year CU goes 8-5 in the big 12 north and pulls off a shocker over UT in the champ game. So they (with that record) get to go play for the NC you're saying?

They're more deserving than a UF this year?



So why switch? That makes it even more retarded.

How can you be the best team in the country when you aren't the best in your conference?

BCS avoids that stupid situation listed above.

It's like anti-playoff people create the worst possible playoff imaginable

no you did, by picking conference champs

You can't do that because SFP doesn't like arbitrary ranking systems except the BCS.

the undefeated Auburn team from the SE fricking C agrees with you. Remember, the one that didn't get to play for anything?

Playoffs reward momentum. BCS more rewards your overall performance, equating each game equally, not how hot you are at the end of the year.

Yeah, it does matter. Your confusing playoffs with wild cards. Once you allow wild cards, then the system is arbitrary.

Win your conference or STFU. The goal is not to crown #2.

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.

and instead excludes other undefeated conference champions in the process.

Playoff is the lesser of two evils, I don't see how this isn't obvious.

Auburn can stop fricking scheduling the Citadel then.

a plus one is the only solution to the BCS that makes any sense.

so your system is better because they had to go through a watered down field to become champ?

No way to know unless there is a foolproof way to determine conference strength.
