College basketball is exactly why I am against a playoff system for football. The eight best teams in the regular season are all out. So it is pretty clear to be the best team doesn't win. Now we have a final four with teams like VCU who accomplished so little before the tournament that they had to play in a play-in game, or U Conn who was 9th in the b ...[text shortened]... exclusively from one tournamnet cheapens the idea of what being the best for season really is.

College football does play regular season games and they count and I prefer that model.

Originally posted by quackquackRegular season is basketball is meaningless. A team could go 0-30 and then win 10 or 11 straight games in the post seasons and they're national champs. We all know that. But at least they decide the title on the court. In football, a team can win all of its games or all but one and look really good doing it and they're still excluded because there's only 2 spots.

I can understand why you don't want everyone making the post season, but football is the other extreme.
An 8 team playoff with the 4 big bowls as the quarterfinals (the winners of the 4 or 5 big conferences and a few at large bids based on the BCS) and the semis and finals played in the same venues as the big bowls, makes far more sense.
