I've always thought differently of the pros... the simple reason being they're getting paid loads of money to win championships, but also because the level of competition ramps up significantly in the postseason. I don't care if the Chiefs win 10 in a row because I don't care about beating those 10+ loss teams... the Avalanche won 50 games a couple seasons ago, which was a lot of fun, but the playoffs are so much more intense.
CFB is about the same in terms of the regular season, unless maybe you're in the SEC West... several non-competitive regular season games, if not the vast majority. The difference is that I don't think the level of competition skyrockets in the postseason.
CBB though... well, Kansas is playing @ISU and Kentucky
this week, they've probably already played their best game of the season and play that team again. Yeah, if I was a Kentucky fan, I wouldn't care about beating a bunch of SEC garbage teams....but, I enjoy KU's regular seasons to the point where I can't say it's all about the National Championships, especially when there's what, 6 teams that have won more than KU, and only 4 of those who have won one recently? So, they aren't UConn or Duke... yeah, I'll enjoy all of the conference championships and the great games in the other ~4 months, and hope for the best in March.
