simple math.

The magnitude of college football games would still be huge with a playoff system.


What exactly are you arguing about at this point? You've completely lost me. You've gone from arguing against a playoff system to attacking my view of college basketball as if I was using it to argue your original point?

I think I need a flowchart.
I don't know your definition of huge, and everyone's concept of a big game will be different but what is obvious is that they would be less important. Florida/FSU would have meant nothing yesterday, Bama game, nothing, Oklahoma game same thing nothing. Might as well rest guys.

I have always said that ncaa football is unique in that the regular season acts as a playoff. it's regular season games are uniquely important. Compared to other sports and leagues ... including NCAA basketball the importance of the games pale in comparison. You just said a 2 game losing streak isn't a death sentance, but rather can create a inconvinience in terms of how you seed for a tourneyment at the end. Still have to win 6 games no matter what, just 6 slightly different games.

So to keep it real simple, NCAA football's structure is unique and to me better, because of the importance of the regular season ... and I think all the bowls are fun to watch. A playoff would dilute all of that.

Make sense?
