Don't get me wrong, I was alive to enjoy the 1980 NC, but let's face it, and this is not popular among some, even our fanbase, but did we REALLY have a NC in cfb until we had a playoff? The polls was a horrible way to pick a NC IMO. The BCS was a joke. To me, the playoffs began the TRUE national championship era of cfb. I am proud of the 1980 NC, but the last 2 seasons are something to REALLY be proud of.

It depends. I mean teams were ranked, but some say that there had to be a playoff. I think for the most part they did a good job of naming the National Champion. I think there is room for argument some years, but then some would argue about it during the playoff era.
Pre-playoff, I think Auburn was robbed the year they took USC and Oklahoma. (2004) They would definitely have a legit complaint. Not saying thye definitely would have won, but they could definitely say they should have been there.
As a whole they did a good job, though.
Ftr, I was around for the 1980 title, too.

Why would the BCS not count? That's the system everyone agreed to.
