college football is the only true sport left in my opinion

the games are all meaningful throughout the whole season..it's the one sport with a true champion

I see it differently. College football is the only sport without a "true champion". That's the argument the majority of university presidents and bowl proponents advance for the staus quo: everybody wins. Kinda like little league.

A playoff would not render the regular season irrelevant any more than how, under the current system, the early part of the season often doesn't matter. The polls reward losing early over losing late; this is the logic for the scheduling of UF-Tennessee and Florida State-Miami - the losing team has time to climb back up the polls.
