Prior to Playoffs (BCS was first) teams were rated by media ... AP and UPI


often they had different #1's ... and those #1's rarely played each other ........ Rose Bowl PAC10 and Big10 tie-in was often the culprit ... sometimes we ended up with a split "National Champion" ... BCS was created to have the two best teams play and avoid the split. But there was always bitching from Nos 3 thru 5 .. which culminated with an unbeaten Auburn being left out (and playing VT in the Sugar Bowl). Playoffs were created to avoid the Auburn situation. Actually, the whole thing, including conference championship games (started by SEC) were created to get more TV money.
