These are completely different animals. The NBA/NFL have playoffs that every team equally has a chance to qualify for based on how they perform in the season. Even in the NCAA Tournament has automatic tournament bids for every conference so every team controls their destiny to some extent. In college football PRESEASON rankings can affect how teams can qualify for the BCS Championship. In 2004, Oklahoma and USC were 1-2 in the polls THE ENTIRE year and even though Auburn went 13-0 thru the SEC they never passed either of those teams in the polls which were 2/3s of the BCS rankings. The only good thing the BCS did was get the B1G/Pac-12 out of their Rose Bowl shell and guarantee whatever two teams the BCS spit out as 1-2 would play for the NC title. The BCS didn't get it right and was way too subjective rather than objective. The fact that 2 polls are 2/3s of the system makes things impossible to be done without bias. For the NCAA tournament you have subjectivity in who gets in, but for the most part none of the last 5 teams in the NCAA tournament ever wins the NC title. The top teams win the tournament and they are established over the course of a season.
