This is really a pointless argument. The is no way to prove if the polls would be different without the playoffs in place. Other than jersey color, there is no risk is ranking a team 2 or 3 in the playoff. Without the playoff in place, the rankings would be under much for scrutiny and therefore might be different. I find it hard to believe a 1 loss Clemson team who won their division would have gotten snubbed in the BCS system in favor of OSU

It really is pointless. There is no way anybody can say "This would have happened...or this would not have happened...." Do I believe we would have beaten Notre Dame in the title game in 2012? yes. But there is no way I could no that. I would be basing my opinion on us playing Alabama close, and Alabama beating the crap out of Notre Dame.

It's hard to say. OSU did not even win their conference, but the team that did win the conference did not go while a team that did not even play for the conference championship (Arguably the #3 team in the conference) went to the playoffs. Unfortunately the eye test and opinions win out most of the time. Examples? Notre Dame, USC, Texas, Oklahoma etc quite often get the benefit of the doubt based on past history. Yes, we can include Alabama and Ohio State to that group, too.
