100+ teams all playing different schedules and barely any common opponents.

and why are Oklahoma and Ohio State ranked to begin with? based on their recent history (which objectively has nothing to do with the team they field this year).

when it was the BCS there was a big to-do about the third team. now it's a big to-do about the fifth team. there's a big to-do about the 69th team in the NCAA tournament, and all the top teams bitch about their seeding. I don't ever see some kind of ironclad system.

*however*...the postseason intrigue is part of what has elevated the sport to national prominence. just part of CFB now.
