College football has a playoff now, meaning perhaps the least-organized major sport has, for the first time since there were only three or four teams, some sort of a legit process for determining its champion. America’s second-biggest sport is about to explode all over again, the small four-team plan will satisfy everyone forever, and you’ll never hear college football fans complaining about the postseason ever again.

But! If anybody expected this sprawling mess of a sport to have a tidy playoff, he or she must be new around here.
