Your right it just stands out to me a little bit more in the NFL because its more condensed in the playoff format rather than the season. I think college will be a lot more like the NFL when they expand the playoffs. Before the CFP it did matter to not have a loss or even if you did lose to lose early in the year. Now a school in big conference can have a loss and when/if it expands it will help smaller conference schools get in but they will probably be the only ones that can't afford any losses.
