[QUOTE="TechPreacher, post: 265036, member: 2312"] The problem with this whole debate (not just this thread) is the term "best team". FBS football is the only non-Olympic team sport that holds to this philosophy. Every other sport, including all other levels of NCAA football, thinks in terms of "champion". Thus, the controversy arises when FBS football tries to combine "best team" with "champion". All other sports understand and accept (and I dare say, embrace) the fact that "champion" does not always equal "best team". In the old days of college football, "best team" worked because polls decided "champion" and there could be multiples. Today, FBS wants a hybrid "best team champion" every year, which is impossible due to the nature of sports. Until FBS football fans, media, and participants agree to either drop the concept of "champion" and return to the old days of bowl games and polls, or drop the idea of "best team" with a true tournament-based championship, this debate will never cease.
