    Semantics.

    Should be treated the same.

    The BCS picks 2 teams to play for the title.

    Under a playoff, the BCS picks 4 teams to play for the title.

    Under both scenarios, the winner should be champion, and the AP should be irrelevant.

      You haven't been following along.

          I'm convinced you have no idea what is even being said at this point.

          Of course a dicated championship game winner shouldn't be treated the same as a plyoff winner. Hence, why everyone and their mother wants a playoff because they feel a playoff is a more legitimate way to determine the champion.

          A playoff winner would be treated as much more legitimate than the current one game bowl winner...that's kind of the idea of everyone wanting a playoff to begin with.

          If people thought of them the same and were going to treat them the same...there would be no outcry.

            LOL @ you acting like im the only person who thinks the championship winner should be unquestioned champion.

            People want a playoff because they want more teams involved...so 4 might not be enough.

              This is where you're wrong. This is the focal point of our entire disagreement.

                    Actually you are.

                    You are saying if only 2 teams are allowed to play for the title, its not legit.

                    But that if 4 teams are allowed to play for the title, then its completely legit.

                    Only 2 team difference makes you change your mind from one extreme to the other. Thats pretty stupid.

                    Even if we have a 4 team playoff, what if some people feel the 5th team was more deserving? Then shouldnt that make it non-legit too?

                    Be more consistent with your thought process.

                      Wrong.

                      I quit reading here because I just assumed the rest of your asinine ramblings were based off this first incorrect assertion.

                        Who said 4 would be "enough" in the first place? Its like you are arguing with yourself...wait, you are.

                        How is this relevant to anything?

                          HUH? I thought the focal point of your entire disagreement was that the AP could still release a poll even after a playoff tournament. If thats not true, then WTF have you been talking about this entire time?

                              I think you're just trolling now.

                              You said the bcs title game shouldnt be treated like a playoff game, correct? Your reason was because it arbitrarily picks 2 teams, correct?

                              So what if we had a sytem that arbitrarily picks 4 teams, why would that make the winner unquestioned?

                                You've been lost this entire discussion.

                                My point is the current bcs title game should be treated like a playoff game.

                                If people say it shouldnt, then those people should also question a 4-team playoff.
