True, but then you're relying on other teams to mess up. In the NFL, you can play 4 horrible games (at least) and still be pretty much assured of having a chance to go to the Super Bowl.

I'm on the fence about that. I'd certainly like to see it decided on the field, but I also like how important each game is in the bowl system. Currently, I'd favor a +1 format, with a national championship game after the bowls. Never gonna happen though.

I think this is as it should be. The teams that are playing better at the end of the season should have precedent.

Agree with you here. I would add as well the difference in sizes. I'm not a big fan of having a conference where you don't play all the other teams in the conference each year. Although the BigXII/SEC/ACC system of two divisions and a championship game is much better than the Big 10 system.
