the old system was a lot of fun, but let's face it - the sportswriters bias in favor of Southern Cal, Notre Dame and the Big 10 was what led to the downfall.
LSU would never have won another NC another the old system. I remember Auburn getting screwed because Pat Dye foolishly believed just winning the game, even without scoring a touchdown, would give auburn the title.
too much injustice. the BCS and the current system cut down on the injustices somewhat, but let's face it - all of the P5 conference champs need to be in the playoffs.
we'll never get rid of complaints, but let's get rid of the justifiable complaints.

I remember a Mizzou fan complaining about LSU being a 2 loss champion in 2008, while overlooking Kansas being the only 1 loss team, but clearly not SEC caliber. However KU won the Final Four later that year. Great time for LSUjhawk

What really screwed Auburn in '83 was the fact that their game against Michigan was on at the exact same time as the Nebraska-Miami game in the Orange Bowl. No one was watching Auburn play while everyone was glued to their TV to watch what was arguably one of the greatest games in college football history between the Huskers and Hurricanes.
After Miami's upset of a team many thought was the greatest of all-time, the sports world glanced at the score of the Sugar Bowl, went "meh" and then awarded Miami the national championship the following day.
