I Had A Nightmare...The Bowl Championship Series

What happened to the days when the champ was THE champ? Or when you were number one, you actually were number one? Are we just plain stupid?
Here's the, we'll say, hypothetical argument: Team A has won X amount of games, team B has won the amount equal to X(Just forget about teams C, D, & E,they won the amount equal to X, ((which equals undefeated)) also, but they don't count for some reason?). Even though A's schedule had a couple of division AA teams. Hey, they were still wins, weren't they? Team A is undefeated, team B is also. Therefore, the conclusion is that team A MUST be the better team because their margin of victory was larger in most games. It doesn't matter that team "B" played and defeated more top ten teams than team A. I won't even touch the 98'-99', 01'-02', 03'-04' or the 04'-05' seasons. I can't type that fast and it confuses me to even think about it, and there isn't enough time left in my life to write about it.
Well, I'll say just a little to illustrate my point. The 04'regular season finished with 5 undefeated teams. Three of the five; Auburn, Utah, and Boise St. didn't have a chance to play for the BCS championship. Auburn had the best strength of schedule, which doesn't matter anymore. That makes a whole lot of sense. None of it makes any sense really, at least to me.
Even the Associated press doesn't want to be associated with the BCS mess, nor does ESPN.
Someone please tell me why we do not have PLAYOFFS in college football? Every other team sport has some sort of playoff, don't they? Is there something that I don't know about? Are we so stuck in tradition that we are unable to change? Do the bowl games generate THAT MUCH income for the schools that participate? Why God, why can we not shift to a season that ends with playoffs? Something that lets us know, without a doubt...who is the best...period.
