NFL does it right. They have the best product hands down from start to finish. Their playoffs blow any other sport out the water, especially college football.
I mean the NFL, when being tossed into these CFP discussions, isn't any more relevant than the UIL, the NCAA, or any other football league (or team sports league in general) that uses a postseason tournament to determine its champion. There's nothing particularly unique about the NFL, but it makes for a great red herring, in the tiny minds of whiny bitches who whine and bitch about the playoffs, because they think that this kind of pseudo-elitism and snobbery passes as a valid argument. What I actually hear/read from people who throw in the "evil NFL!" schmatte is no more enlightening than the guy who said "he was on the internet and I'm in college."
That having been said, if one claims to be a football fan and says they didn't enjoy the fuck out of the NFL playoffs last year in particular, then one is a lying asshole.
