The History of 2-loss Teams In The BCS Era

If the 4-team playoff format had been in place during the BCS era, there would have been seven years in which at least one 2-loss team would have made it in. Based on this history, I think we'll see 2-loss teams in the playoffs about half the time. Here's the list of 2-loss teams that would have made it in based on the final BCS rankings:

1999
Alabama

2001
Colorado

2002
USC

2003
Michigan

2005
Ohio State
