You talk about deciding it on the field, but then focus on Arkansas being a better game than the two teams that slaughtered them in the regular season. Arkansas already decided on the field that they were nowhere near the best team in the country. If the playoff creep happens and the field expands to 16 teams it's not deciding it on the field - it's deciding it on the field at the right time. That can be exciting and fun, but it's not the ideal way to determine the best team.
It may not be ideal...buts it a hell of a lot better than what they havew now...which has always been my argument.

And if you dont like it, I suggest you take it up with the suits themselves, they are the ones that will going that way at some point...not me.
