re: We don't need 8 teams in the playoff, we need four balanced conferences

divisions in the NFL being equal to conferences in the NCAA

No they aren't. Divisions are divisions and conferences are conferences. Just because the NFL only has two conferences doesn't mean they aren't conferences. And the only reason they have wildcards is for increaseed revenue - they add nothing with regards to fairness.

Not really, just because the NYG beat the Patriots in after the 2007 season doesn't validate anything. It was a fluke, and another reason why not to have wildcards on the playoffs. It was a travesty and just shows that 'champion' doesn't mean 'best team'.

It would just be SO much easier, cleaner, objective, more fair, less controversial and sensible to just have a tournament of champions.

To this point, I have seen NO logical reason not to have an 8-team tournament of conference champions to end the college football season.
