2002 would have a been great year for a playoff as well. I honestly thought USC was the best team in the country that year. They got really hot late in the season and had a lot of talent with Carson Palmer, Troy Polamalu, Shaun Cody, Kenechi Udeze and Mike Williams. I think they would have won it all if there was a four team playoff that year.

I agree about USC, they also had maybe the toughest schedule ever that year. Their 4 OOC were Colorado, K-State, Auburn and Notre Dame 12 games all BCS teams

Their 2 loses were by 7 at #8 KSU, and by 3 at #6 WSU. Only downside is they play Miami in first round.
