It's not that simple.

Being an engineering major at Auburn is not like being an engineering major at Florida.

Maybe, but honestly, the blue bloods today play 9 games a season against teams that shouldn't legitimately challenge their 2nd string squad. For Michigan this year, it was 11, including the conference championship. Only games against opponents that could legitimately challenge them were PSU, OSU, and the CFP.  This is the sign of a shit conference.

You get more excited when Alabama or Georgia goes 11-1 with 9+ of their opponents being patsies, ehhhh, 9 years out of 10, this isn't possible than if they went 8-4 against a schedule of 12 teams that are equals on paper? I'd argue the latter is more impressive.  

The SEC has held firm on the 8-game conference schedule and the late-season FCS tune-up NOT to provide better entertainment for the fans, but to make sure they schedule as few losses as possible for the helmet teams.  If an 8-game conf schedule yields a top 20 SOS, why pile on?

Maybe these teams need to stop filling up on cupcakes. It's gonna go straight to the hips.

Might as well. They're the only 13 teams you think should ever be allowed into the inner circle to be anointed as national champions anyway.

How's that?

You're proposing we saddle half of them with losses they're not accustomed to.  Guess what many will do?
Their eyeballs will close and their pointer fingers cease to click.

You believe in the eye test, particularly yours, for which teams are "worthy" of the CFP.

Outside of a dozen or maybe a little more programs in the country, none will pass your "eye test" even if they're undefeated. It comes up every time a team you deem unworthy is selected over a team that you deem worthy.
This is a poor description of my thoughts.  A few of you seem to think I'd vouch for someone like a 8-4 USC team with top 10 recruiting classes over a 11-1 Iowa team without much talent.  I have no earthly clue why anyone thinks that.
Somehow, my opinion that blindly ranking teams by number of losses without taking into account any context as a bad practice has been bastardized into "then why even bother playing the games?" 
And again, this baffles me.  It'd be great if someone could provide some evidence of why I somehow became Captain Eye Test.

And it typically correlates with what you think their respective talent level is, which is based on their recruiting, which is based on how shiny the helmet is. Any team that isn't a helmet shouldn't be in, right?  Yeah, I'm not following here.  I'll likely side with Team A with the very difficult schedule and perhaps 1-2 more losses over the ?lesser helmet? Team B with a pretty record vs the Deaf & Blind scheduling house.
So you need Purdue and Vandy around so those poor snowflake helmet team fans don't have their egos bruised?  Here, you're just slanting the idea into insult for some reason.  The short answer is "yes," but I also stated WHY, which you've chosen to ignore. 
You're better than that.
