By definition, the National Championship game is a two team playoff and renders regular season results irrelevant like any other playoff system. You can debate the merits of such a system all you want, but don't try to tell me Alabama wasn't the best team in college football in 2011 because they lost a regular season game. The logic doesn't add up (unless you want to apply that same ridiculous regular season principle to every sport and therefore call the 2007 Patriots co-champs).
