re: Would you prefer an Elite offense or an Elite defense

There have been 11 CFP playoffs as of this year. Of those, I think Michigan and maybe the first Georgia (all-time defense but still put up a lot of points) one is/are the only one(s) you can say won mostly off the backs of their defense. The vast majority of those teams won from high-powered or at minimum a healthy balance of good offense and good defense. Gun to my head picking offense or defense, I think it’s just the objectively correct answer that offense matters more in the current CFB landscape.
