    But, conference champions are NOT the best teams and should NOT get into the tournament just b/c they are "lucky" enough to play in a pathetic conference.

    When the WAC or MAC champions play 6 or 7 ranked opponents annually, instead of a full slate of cracker jack teams, then your argument might have some validity.

    Newsflash: This isn't the NFL. NFL rules don't apply.

    Nor should you get a second bite at the apple if you screw up the first one. Everyone starts out the season controlling their destiny regarding conference championships. And even the path to conference title games go through easier schools for some (UGA) than others (LSU). Conference championship games have to mean something in the NC picture, otherwise they can only be a liability if key players get injured, or they lose, dropping out of the top 4. It's like a reverse play-in game, where #1 is penalized and has to play their way in while #2 rests up and is assured a spot in the NC tournament. In fact, under this scenario, it's possible for one team to face another 3 times to win the NC, between the regular season, conference championship and NC games.

    I disagree. That second bite at the apple was earned by playing in the toughest conference last year. Bama was much more deserving than our hypothetical 6 win Podunk Conference champion. The national champion, if determined by a 4 team playoff, should be played by the top 4 ranked teams.

    No newsflash needed, Bryant Gumbel. Just making a comparison.

    Ya'll would have disagreed with me anyway I went with the opinion. I could have stated that I was an opponent of any playoff system and been met with flack.

    Dude, I did not bring up any past posts. I simply argued against your position. Quit being a baby and saying we would disagree no matter what. You presented your argument, I presented mine.
