re: I miss poll era football.

I mean there was more to it than just the 2004 season and what they did to Auburn.

There was 85, I think it was, when BYU beat a 6-5 Michigan team in the Holiday Bowl for a National Title. That was the year the whole debate really started.

I remember 2006 being another shite show of a year.even though I thought Florida deserved the title remember all the BS about Michigan vs OSU and SoCal vs UCLA.

98 and I didn’t think FSU deserved the shot at Tennessee, I thought it should have been OSU and I hate the suckeyes.

99 ... think about it. Va Tech and Nebraska both got shut out of the process. FSU was basically gifted the title.

Sooooooooooo many reasons why the old bowl system sucked. Far too many split national championships and, even then, there were times when teams like the 64 Arkansas squad for instance just got fricked all together.
