With sentiments like these, why do you even care about the title game? 21-0 >>> 42-14. Notre Dame backed their way to a #1 ranking because several other teams dropped a game. The ranking system is flawed beyond simple voter bias. It wasn't hard to tell that Notre Dame wasn't great. They struggled with several average and bad teams. Their one good win was Oklahoma, whom despite being given several weeks to prepare, lost even worse to Texas A&M.

None of that has anything, at all, to do with what occurred in 2011.

Systems prior to the BCS allowed for rematches and made mistakes too.

Again...you're arguing as if we were still not in the BCS era in 2011. We were.

1996 Florida lost to Florida State but blew them out in the rematch. Was this unfair to Florida State?

Without going back to look at the entire season and who was also at the top of the bowls, I'll say no...mostly due to the fact that while both teams had already played once, both teams were their conference's respective champs...not members of the same division within the same conference where one was the champ and was was the runner up in the division.
