Completely disagree.
In basketball, the regular season determines conference tournament seeding. If a team gets the top seed in its conference tournament it is much more likely to make the tournament. I guess you have a point with the major conference powers, but then the regular season is already meaningless to them.
In football, one loss could mean the difference between getting a playoff berth and not. The regular season in I-AA certainly is NOT meaningless.
