I miss poll era football.
You also could call it "bowl era football" because the bowls mattered. Lots of times, up to three bowl games had national championship implications. Bama got screwed over during a couple of those years but that would be so much harder for the AP to get away with in the social media age. I didn't watch one single bowl game outside of the playoff games last year. Hell, Georgia decided not to even play in theirs.

It never hurt my feelings to see split titles. I hate the playoffs even though my team has made it each year. I accepted the BCS but never liked it even though my team benefited from in 2011. I enjoyed college football as a whole a lot more during the 80's and 90's than I do now. Bama only won one title during that span but college football was more enjoyable as a whole.
