Yeah Boy !! I will never argue with you about the 'dreamy' side of big time CF's championship system. It can often be interchanged with 'mythical' in such discussions.

nothing 'mythical' about all that CASH, and all them hats and t-shirts, and accolades, and records...
Clemson is 100% the CHAMPION of the 2018 FBS season. Nothing mythical, or disputed about it. And, it will stand for all time.
Unless of course, the NCAA learns that Clemson gave Trevor Lawrence's parent a house and fancy car... then, in 5-6 years, it might get taken away... by whom? Not Dr. Pepper, by the NCAA.

Oh, all the $ side is so true, but when it comes to championship competition anything predicated on opinions and voting cannot be anything but mythical to varying degrees. |

So... the games played by Clemson in the CFP mean NOTHING? You think they never happened? C'mon Hen.. admit it: The CFP IS a playoff. It's not as big as you want it to be. But, the data shows.. in MOST years, it's big enough. In 2018, it was BIGGER than it needed to be. |

An Invitational. All other team sports have playoffs
We better quit. I think we're running everybody else off.

Nah...they're all just on off-season hiatus...
Hero's mom passed away a couple of weeks ago. I think he's been away trying to deal with the aftermath. Never an easy thing. He'll be back around, eventually.

The NCAA Basketball tournament is the most exciting/worst way to determine the worth of a team. It's a six game winning streak. Enough upsets and 4 wins gets you to a Final Four. It's a National Tournament Championship, not National Championship. Most rarely make the distinction. |

A reward for excellence. not a reward for losing maybe 25% of your games along the way. Phil Steele has studied years of data and says 4 is usually right in most years. |

That made me spew cola on my keyboard.
It's like the choice of a "giant douche" vs a "turd Sandwich"!
