College football’s four team playoff is the best postseason in all of sports.
MLB has an ill-fitting luck-driven, winner-take-all Wild Card game that stands in contrast to the rest of the postseason. The NFL allows enough teams in that a less deserving “hot” team oftentimes comes out above the best team (remember the 9-7 2012 Giants?). The NBA playoffs (and regular season) have become little more than a waiting game for an inevitable Lebron vs. Super Team matchup. The NHL is great, but NCAA football takes the cake.
In this small, elite playoff bracket, only very good teams can get in, but the list of teams that can get in is far more extensive than the list of teams that could win the whole thing.
