The first sentence is absolutely not true. You really think the 07 Giants were better than the Patriots?
As far as abolishing playoffs, they are fun for the entertainment. I dont watch because I think the best team will win. That isnt the case often. NCAA football is different. I like playoffs, but their system is fun in its own right. Every single game of the season is huge. The best two teams square off more often than not. Its different than playoffs, but good in its own right.
Nope, the '07 Giants were not better but they beat them and that is all that matters. You have to earn championships on the field, should we just vote on the champion?
Every single game of the CFB season is not huge b/c most of the games are gimme games. There are a handful of big games in CFB every year. Teams only play a few tough games a year. I don't want a 64 team Tourney but an 8 or 16 team tourney would be great and it would be the best postseason in any sport- a title currently occupied by CBB.
I was listening to ESPN Radio tonight at work when I heard an advertisement for Mike and Mike. They were playing a clip from a previous show where Mike Greenberg, junk's boy, said that the tournament is filled with excitement but it's just a STUPID way to pick a champion because it completely delegitimizes the regular season.
Pretty accurate.
You play the reg season to earn a higher seed and get an easier path to a title but you still have to win on the court. It's like in any sport, in the NFL they play the reg season to see who gets homefield and who gets into the playoffs. It doesn't delegitimize reg season games but they give us true win or go home games unlike CFB where a champ can lose TWO games and still win it all. You can't do that in the NFL or CBB, it's win or you are done.
