Define who the “best team” is.
The one who got hot at the right time, or the team with the best overall body of work over the course of the season.
I could have the best team, but suffer some crucial late season injuries and lose in the Championship game. Does that mean that they still weren’t the “best team”?
but that's the bullsh*t bill of goods that were used to deceive us into allowing college football to become espn's painted whore.
but, one more time, it's not the backend of the process, bowls, or even the playoffs, that are destroying the sport, it's realignment. if you truly want college football back, after all the perversion that has already happened, you are going to have to literally do away with all of the conferences.
otherwise, you're just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
