[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 983211, member: 6459"] The BCS formula would have had FSU but was very close to dropping them. [MEDIA=twitter]1731357067468788004[/MEDIA] Imagine if Washington had lost and this was the BCS era and we ended up with Michigan/Alabama as the title game. Or if just a few second-order SOS differences due to what opponents of each team would have put Texas in over FSU regardless of injuries, the same way it had Alabama over FSU. It wouldn't have in this exact scenario today, but you could keep the top 5 teams with their same records and replay other teams' games and have different rankings come out - we've been happily (er... not happily) talking about hypotheticals all thread long, so that one seems just as relevant as the "the committee would've left FSU out even without the injury" possibility. Point being: the nostalgia instead of looking forward to next year is nuts, "top 4 in BCS" would have the same possibilities to screw over an undefeated P5 champ, this era is definitely no worse than the BCS era, even though it was fundamentally still pretty stupid in a way that can be seen by comparing the number of P5 conferences with the number of playoff spots.
