I invert that. The only thing I care about in College FB is who the National Champion is.
Perennial playoff contenders I respect, even if they don't make the big game. It gets tenuous when it's a constant one and done, but it's more respectable to me than 5 years of suckitude, then a playoff run, then a return to the bottom of the barrel. I'd rather root for the Chiefs, Chargers or even Bengals than the likes of the Rams or Bucs, certainly the Raiders.
Chiefs, Bengals, and Cowboys push the edge of making the playoffs without a lot of respectability based on their playoff futility, but still making it regularly is respectable.
