That USC team was the best team of the decade. In a one game scenario anyone can win. That's what makes sports so great. USC probably beats Auburn 8/10 times. Either way we can agree to disagree.

And your point with preseason rankings was already proven wrong when Kansas went from unranked to #2 in 2007. Auburn did it this year and Notre Dame last year. I don't care if there is SEC or Notre Dame bias. Notre Dame went undefeated and Auburn was the best 1-loss team.

1. So we agree that 1 year out of 16 it may not have put the best two teams together. Even if you want to say 2004, that's only twice. No team that didn't get in during the 2007 season can complain. Teams had their chance and didn't take advantage of it.

2. Alabama and LSU were the two best teams in the country and they played in the National Championship. Overall, the regular season matters. Of course there's some regular season games that may be devalued. The point is the two best teams played in the end. You can't argue that.

3. Obviously it's going to be somewhat subjective. But you're crazy if you think that a playoff won't be.

Like you said, every system is going to have controversy. If there was a playoff and Alabama won, wouldn't that devalue Auburn's regular season win against them?
