Because only two teams were selected for a title game. Only the most beautiful teams stood to make the draw, with the notable exception of LSU in 2007. Although there weren't that many beautiful teams that season.

A four-team playoff is an improvement because it dips down at least to the level that a hot team that struggled early can reach by season's end. An 8-team or even 16-team playoff would be much more fair in determining a champion.

Teams with one, two or even three losses have gone on runs to win playoffs in the other categories of college football. The pros have also seen teams jell late and win the Super Bowl.

It was a system everyone agreed to play under. Just like the CFP.

I disagree. The bowl "system" has been money driven for its whole history. It's money and money alone that has perpetuated the asinine major college football post season.

Regrettably, that has foisted upon the public a perception that major college football is somehow different from other divisions, even the pros. Subsequently, we have missed out on glorious seasons followed by even better playoffs that would have seen some truly historic programs turn away all comers and others that suffered monumental upsets to teams that got stronger as the season went on.
