What makes the NCAA Tournament so exciting is that it is literally 'sudden death'. You win, you advance, you lose you go home. Unlike the way the College Football (FBS) ends with bowls, etc. and a fictional national champion.
The NCAA Tournament is clear and straightforward. Win your 6 (or 7) games and the confetti comes down in your team's colors. Not so clear with FBS football, see TCU.
Which is better?
I don't know, honestly, which I prefer.
Why?
Well, in the NCAA Tournament, everyone ends their season with a loss, except the champion. With the present series of bowls, half the teams end their season with a win. Maybe I'm a wuss, but I like that.
On the other hand, having a clear champion certainly has advantages and for the school who wins, it is a remarkable thing for money and admissions.
Grace is like FBS, not as clear. NCAA Tournament, like the Law is clear.
