I won't argue those comments. I just posted about how silly traditions and conference affiliations prevent the best teams in college football from playing each other when it counts. I'll just add name recognition to the list.

This is why I prefer the NCAA basketball tournament. A school can earn their way in by winning a small conference and then can settle any arguments on the court. In other words, if a team can play, they can't be kept out of the championship game such as was done to Hawaii this year and Boise State last year in football.
