A playoff is better than saying one conference is better than another conference and choosing the National Champion based on that. I do agree that certain conferences are better from top to bottom, but the SEC has had their teeth kicked in when they played tougher conferences. I do remember some very fast Miami teams getting beat up when they played a tougher Nebraska team for example. The top teams in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament fall all the time when they play other good teams. I just think it is not about conference it is about individual program success. Florida and Ohio State have been top teams for years. But it is not like every year Florida could beat the top Big Ten teams every single year considering that they did get beat a few times by a Michigan team and a Michigan State team in recent years. I just want at the very least a 4 team playoff in football and let these teams prove they belong. Even the 57th team in basketball has a beef. You will always have teams that feel they should have gotten a chance. That would be better than choosing only two teams and one is because they play in a "so-called" better conference.
