Now you're talking! I'm a traditionalist. A playoff takes the emphasis totally away from the season and 1 or 2 losses during the season mean absolutely NOTHING anymore because all that matters is getting into the playoffs, just like basketball season now, which abso-fucking-lutely sucks. The

Screw the bowl tradition. Even highschool and peewee leagues have a LEGITIMATE champion. Anyting other than a playoff crowns a mythical champion. Roundball March Madness generates more interest than the bowl games because it is a legitimate tournament which produces a legitimate champion. MORE

The legitimate champion argument is hogwash. It does not produce a legitimate SEASON champion. The NCAA basketball tourney produces a legitimate tournament champion which means that it totally throws out the season and starts over. The team that can put 6 wins together at the END of the season is

It is more of a legitimate champion than letting computers and sports writing hacks decide who they think should be there. You have to win games in order to be a champion, and if some team gets hot and beats you, that's your problem. Championships should be won on the field, not on some nerds
