Not that we needed much evidence to confirm that the college football final four is an oligarchy, while the college basketball final four is a democracy, but here it is...

COLLEGE FOOTBALL FINAL FOUR

- 7 years (2015-2021) X 4 participants per year = 28 possible participants
- 11 colleges have appeared in 7 years
- 4 colleges have 20 appearances (Bama 6, Clemson 6, Ohio State 4, Oklahoma 4); the remaining 7 schools = 8 appearances
- 5 conferences represented
- each of the past 6 years have featured 3 of the 4 highest-appearing teams
- 3 repeat title matchups in 6 years

COLLEGE BASKETBALL FINAL FOUR

- past 7 years (2013-2019) X 4 participants per year = 28 possible participants
- 21 colleges have appeared in 7 years
- 7 colleges with multiple appearances, but none with more than 2 (Kentucky, Mich, Mich St, UNC, Cuse, Nova, Wiscy)
- 9 conferences represented 
- 1 final four in past 7 has had more than 1 team make consecutive appearances (Kent 2014-15, Wiscy 2014-15)
- 0 repeat title matchups in 7 years

I love college football, I really do.  But, man oh man, the CBB championship process is so much more fun and interesting.
