Many people think that one game determines which team is the best. All that a one game championship proves is that this team was better on this day. This is just as arbitrary as a vote, but doesn't require any brain cells.
When the UPI and AP often had differing opinions for the national champion, it sparked debate that made for interest in the various bowl games.
When you put in playoffs, it cheapens the meaning of the regular season accomplishments, to the absurd point that winning a league championship no longer matters. Last season, the NY Islanders hockey team had a chance to win their Division by winning their final game, but the "experts" were saying they should lose on purpose so they'd get an easier first round playoff opponent.
Don't let this happen to college football.
