You have misstated my argument. Never once did I deny that a subset of teams will be in the playoff. Gatekeepers opposing playoff expansion maintain a system where half of the college football teams have zero chance to make it to the playoff before their season begins.No. I'm saying, you invoking the "gatekeepers" is wrong. It's completely related to what you claimed.
Nobody is excluded, "perfect" season or not.
A "flawed system" is irrelevant. Every system will be flawed, and will always be so, as I've so patiently explained to you over the past few posts.
The issues will not be fixed with one, two or any other "magical" solution. As I've offered before, the NCAA MBB tournament is a prime example. You can argue against that all you like, we have an abundance of history as evidence.
Team are absolutely excluded. This is an objective fact. If a team can win every game in their season and not have a chance to compete for a championship then the results of their season were irrelevant to their selection into the playoff. That's an undeniable fact. Teams are excluded.
Do deny that college football is one of the only competive sports that can have a champion while other teams are undefeated?
The "issue" is not simply the selection but the fact the results of half the team's seasons are excluded from consideration before their season begins.
No one has advanced "magical" solutions, a word that you yourself used. Improvements to the current system have been advanced by coaches, players and fans.
You are comparing possible alternatives to the current system with perfection but you do not compare the current system to alternatives.
College basketball MBB is definitely a better playoff system that the current one in college football.
Now, instead of of comparing alternatives to some abstract idea of perfection why don't explain why proposed alternatives are worse than the current system?
