In college basketball a team can go 0-31 during the regular season, get hot at the end, win its conference tournament, win the NCAA Tournament, and be National Champion with a record of 10-31. Go 0-12 in college football you go no where but home.

College football relies too heavily on polls, big conference bias, scheduling cupcake teams, corruption from the bowls and power from the big media companies. It rarely has a true national champion.
College football has the worst postseason to determine a true national champion out of all the sports out there
Ralph, wise up.
