That is why I said, "late" like bowl season late


During bowl season, the only teams in the national title discussion are the ones playing in the game.

How old are you? In the 50 years I referenced the BCS/Playoff system has been in place less than half of that time.

'83, '89, '93 (edit), '04, '10, '13 so it was actually six …During the pre-BCS era the outcome of multiple bowl games determined the national title. In most years there were 5 or 6 teams with reasonable opportunities to be the national champions.
