It wasn't the Bowl Alliance's fault, either. They tried to include all four major bowls but the Rose Bowl, along with the Big 10 and Pac 10, refused to be part of it since it would likely result in the Rose bowl not featuring the Pac 10 and Big 10 Champions.It wasn't Michigan's or Washington's fault (or some AP poll thing). It was the BA. The Bowl Alliance failed to include the Pac-10, Big Ten (and thus the Rose Bowl)...
The AP Poll has existed since the 1936 college football season. The AP also releases a final poll after the bowl games, which became standard starting in 1968.
Michigan hasn’t won a legitimate consensus championship since the 1940s. 97 was split and Nebraska was the real BCS champ. 23 gets a big asterisk that will stay forever
You and I are both famous now. Shout out to @StarRaider for bringing this to my attention. I would move on out to Hollywood but CA is a cesspool these days. Congrats bud, couldn't have done it without you
And people want to complain about an actual Playoff…
Exactly. I can’t imagine being Auburn in 2004 . And before any chimes in, FSU had several opportunities to show they were good a few years ago and they sucked w/o Travis.This. I laugh at people who say "let's go back to the old way".
Yeah no thanks, I'll glady not go back to people voting on who wins and hoping maybe we get a #1 vs. #2 every now and then. I'll gladly take whining over seeding vs. whatever the hell people accepted for 80 years before that.

I remember that ucla had to play Miami later in the year bc of a hurricane and Miami upset them, which helped our cause immenselyI think people forget that going into the final weeks of the 1998 season there was a real worry that UCLA and Kansas St. might shut us out in the final BCS standings if they both went undefeated. I can't imagine this fanbase if a year after the Manning Heisman drama that a 12-0 Vols team would be left out of the BCS National Championship game.
Also FSU a few years ago isn't an argument against a playoff, it's an argument for the expanded playoff we got. That FSU team would have gotten in a season later. Which was the entire point as to why 2 teams only was always dumb. The fact that after the BCS started we still got a split national champion proved it wasn't the end all everyone thought.

Did they only cheat while we were on defense? If not, Hendon should sue them!
Heupel has many strengths but in game adjustments are not one of them. We basically never change up what we are doing.Sports Talk J has been babbling about this forever it seems. And now Milton joins in? This just makes us look bad. Do you see Clemson stammering on about their loss to them in 2022? No. Sports Talk J and everyone else needs to let it go. Just accept that we played a terrible game and they played a perfect one.
And even IF they had our signals, it’s up to the coaching staff to make appropriate changes. You mean to tell me Heupel couldn’t adjust to what Shane freaking Beamer was doing?
You listen to him all you want, he doesn't know football, he just says stuff like he's breaking news. There are several YouTubers that are much better. He's terribleI was just waiting for the first negative comment about STJ. You gotta be a real ****head to attack a good alumni member like him. The man is as clean and nice as anybody on the web.
