What kind of sports tournment do you prefer: round-robin or playoff format?

Round-robin when feasible.

For something like college football (128 teams playing a 12-game schedule), you've got to go with a playoff.

Playoffs are an abomination, particularly for college football.

Yeah, this season would have been so much better if Alabama and Florida State were gifted a bid to the championship game while rightful champion Ohio State just played in the Rose Bowl for funzies.

Oh, no, I disagree entirely! Obviously Alabama and Florida State should not have been in the championship game, since there should be no such thing. I can think of no higher honor than to play for the Rose Bowl. I would sooner Stanford, my childhood team, win a single Rose Bowl than a thousand mythical national championships.

I have advocated for the Rose Bowl to be the CFP Championship Game every year. That way, every one has an equal opportunity for that honor, not just the Big 10/Pac 12 teams. Then you (and I) could have both.
