    If that's accurate, does that mean they play 5 playoff games in each classification to win the title?

    One of the major reasons it is so hard to compare regular seasons b/t teams is inequity in scheduling. A major cause of that is inequity in level of talent from team to team. One way to make the playing field more even is to devise a more uniform set of scheduling, like the NFL does. You have a division that your division plays in each conference, and you play division foes twice. A somewhat similar equity in scheduling should be devised for FBS schools. Also, make a "salary cap" for coaching and training and maybe even facilities. I hate the systems of the past like the Yankees and Lakers where the teams with more money can just buy their way into contention. I believe in parity. Dynasties suck. Unless it's your team...

    No! Then college football is just NFL light. Parity sucks. I like the barely limited dog eat dog competition we have now.

    Oh, Magoo, you've done it again. You quoted me in response to ehusson's post.

    My question was about high school playoff games. CFB is two playoff games.

    You want LSU to have to play Alabama and the rest of the SEC West twice?

    can't really have a uniform set of scheduling when a particular division is weak most of the time... the patriots, because they play the jets, dolphins and bills, can pencil in 6 wins every year in their division basically...

    The Patriots don't need any breaks but yet they somehow manage to get them all, don't they?
