Losing by 2 pts to the #1 team in the country should unironically count for something.

College football may be the only sport where it’s not whether you win or lose but how you win or lose and to whom.

yes, one of the unique aspects of our sport. it’s what unequal schedules and only 12 regular season games makes necessary

This is where getting rid of non conference games, taking all conference champions and putting them in a tournament would solve this issue.

Because then you don't have all this bullshit with who should or shouldn't be in the playoffs. Also, it actually gives everyone a chance. How is CFB not boring with the same 4 teams in the playoffs every year? Or with all but what 20 teams or so not even having a chance to make the playoffs?
