It's moronic to suggest that the best team during a season of games is the best or the national champion when everyone's schedule is different, demanding schedule or not. there is always doubt.
People have to get out of this archaic state of mind that college football has had it right from the beginning of time...it's a dumb system that's gotten SLIGHTLY less dumb in recent times (the BCS is a step up from deciding things based on a poll...barely).
it sure is boring when VCU or George Mason or Butler or whoever crashes the final four party (not)...are they one of the absolute best in the country...most certainly not, but the beauty of sport and the system is that it allows them to at least have a shot.
THE SYSTEM IS A JOKE, AND THE REGULAR SEASON STILL MEANS NOTHING AND ALWAYS WILL UNLESS THERE IS CHANGE.

I agree with everything you said.
That whole point was in response to the garage statement "if LSU is truely the best then they'd just beat everyone in the playoffs too". They're not perfect - play enough games and they'll eventually get knocked off. As you agree, playoffs are essentially a game of sample sizes where crazy things happen and the best team usually doesn't win it all. That's fine and all, but it's ridiculous to claim that whoever wins a playoff is always the best team. Especially in a year like this one where LSU could easily have beaten 3 of the 5 best teams in the country (if they beat Arkansas).
