I'll only speak for the NFL cause it seems like that was what you based your question on.
In the NFL not every team can play every other team. Because of the up and down nature of the quality of NFL teams, it is entirely possible for a very good team to play alot of mediocre or bad teams during their season. The Patriots this season being the prime example. They have what's called an easy schedule.
Also, it's possible for two or more teams to finish with the same record in the NFL (and several other sports as well). How do you determine the champion if you have 6 teams with a league best 12-4 record?
Have a playoff. Single game of best or series, either way, it settles it once and for all.
