If the playoff existed I think we get in in 2010


Possibly, if an objective based system were employed.

However, the four playoff teams are going to be selected by a biased, subjective committee. Even if we had won against Arkansas in 2010, Auburn was already in - as such, the committee would have likely selected a one loss Stanford or Ohio State so that the field would be more "diverse" and "equitable".

This scenario will inevitably surface again in the near future. 2-3 teams will be undefeated, and then there will be a collection of around four or five teams each with one loss.

Fans will be begging for the BCS within a few years.
