Well for one, a group of people DECIDE who plays for the national championship.


It's decided on the field.

For instance, I debate whether it counts as a NC if black people aren't allowed to play with whites


Then you need to remove 10 of the NY Yankees WS titles.

Name me another sport in which a group of people decide who plays for that league's title game just because those 2 teams have pretty resumes.

NCAA basketball?
NCAA baseball?

Name me a college sport that DOESN'T have a championship involving a group of teams be selected to play for it.

The intellect is weak in this one.

Let me simplify; If two teams being selected to play in a championship makes it "mythical", then why aren't the teams that win in basketball, where the tournament participants are SELECTED, or baseball, where the regional participants and therefore eventual CWS participants are SELECTED, also mythical?

Isn't Alabama already the greatest program of all time? Notre Dame, maybe?

He mad about 21-0 that's all.

The fact is, in all college sports the participants in playoffs are selected to an extent. This isn't pro where participants are eliminated based on only on field performance, mainly due to the fact that there are hundreds of schools and such dissimilar schedules.

NCAA football selects 2 teams for its 1 game playoff. Basketball selects 64 or 68, whatever. Just the facts.

I'm not mad about shite. If this thread is asking if Alabama is the greatest college football program of all time, then yes. If this thread is asking if Alabama football is the greatest sports program in the world, then you rednecks might want to leave your state more often.

For one, the NCAA actually declares the winner of the baseball and basketball tournaments the national champion. They actually have a trophy for it. This is not the case in football. Second, there's 68 teams in the basketball tournament and a ton in the baseball tournament as well. If you are a bubble team in a 68 team tournament, you shouldn't be the national champion, so it really doesn't matter who gets chosen in the last few spots. Both baseball and basketball play a lot more than 12 regular season games, so it's easier to see who the better teams are.
