If you can’t even win your own conference why are you rewarded with a shot at the Natty? Win your conference and move on. The NFL, NBA, MLB and NCAA men’s hoops ALL adhere to this philosophy.
Here's what I don't understand about this BS. The NCAATourney is the absolute worst way to determine the "best" team in the country, yet it is lauded as the best postseason. You don't have to win your conference, or your division to get in. Hell a lot of mediocre teams get in and get hot. Why is a conference championship so important in CFB? If you strictly went with conference champions the NCAAT would be awful. It's the same damn format as the CFP when determining bubble teams. I don't get the outrage for one and love for the other.

Meh... drastically different sports IMO. 40 game regular season vs 12+1... Basketball has a higher "luck quotient" than football, but less than baseball or hockey. NFL plays single elimination style... each of the other pro sports play best of X series. NCAAT is an alternative to that which is more inclusive of additional teams but still requires more than getting hot in a game or two.
