This is so true. Look at Kansas last year in basketball. They dominated during the regular season and were the heavy favorite to win it all. If it were football, they would've been in the Championship game and may have won. But instead they got upset in the second round of the tournament.
That's because Bill Self is a bigger postseason choker than Bob Stoops. He should have made it to three or four Final Fours by now instead of only one. A college football team needs to go undefeated or have only one loss and get a lot of help to play for the national championship. It doesn't matter how dominant your team is. You can have one slip-up and you're toast. Just ask 2008 USC. It's extremely difficult to go undefeated the entire season in a BCS conference. You need breaks, you need luck and you probably need some help.

True. Kansas is one of the most storied programs in college basketball and they would have been left to rot in a dogshit non-BCS conference if Texas had accepted the invitation to the Pac 12 last summer.

Kansas didn't lose because the tourney is harder. They lost because they couldn't beat a way less talented team in Northern Iowa.
Kansas went 33-3 last year. If you broke that into 12 game seasons it is like going 11-1 three times. So going 14-0 like Auburn did this year is pretty amazing. Years where the football team has one or two losses is less impressive, however I don't think you can say one is better than another.
In basketball you can be mediocre most of the year and get hot at the right time. Villanova won a championship during a 25-10 season by getting hot at the right time. Getting hot at the right time wouldn't have helped in football.
I'd rather have a playoff to see who is the best team at the end of the year, however I think both NCAA football and basketball are equally hard to win a championship in. In basketball you have to be the hottest at the end of the year. In football you have very little room for error during the year.

North of Kentucky, most schools care just as much if not more about basketball than football

Thats because North of Kentucky most schools suck at football.

True but north of Kentucky, those schools are in cities and states that care more about pro sports than college sports. They aren't even close to being as passionate about college basketball as Alabama, Auburn, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, Clemson, Virginia Tech are about college football.

That's true. Football in the south is unrivaled when it comes to passion from the fans

I just want Auburn to win a basketball title just so I can say they've won one 
Posted on 3/7/11 at 5:59 pm to AMM AU9893
B. Only because of Omaha...

I don't think I was any more excited for football then I was for the basketball titles. If anything, I was probably more excited for basketball because it was the first of 4 while I was in school there. Gainesville was absolutely crazy that night. Winning the basketball title is such a process, you get really hyped up by the time you are in the title game.

B. But only if we won the SEC undefeated and finished 2nd or 3rd in the country in FB too.

Football championship. Didnt even read the "or". You always take the football championship.

1 football over 5 basketball tiles. 1 football over 10000000000 baseball titles.

Personally a bball title means more, but I'd rather have a fball title because we don't have a recent one.

Seeing as we are the defending champs in football and have never won one in basketball or baseball, I would trade one in football next year for one in basketball and baseball.

To me the question is essentially if I would rather win a football title or a basketball title. I like football more, so I would probably go with that, although UT has no basketball titles, so that would be great, too.
