98 - FSU lost worse at home to NC State 24-6, OSU lost last second to a better Saban led MSU team
2000- FSU lost too, but head to head to Miami (but guess that doesn't matter)
2001 - Miami would def be the favorite, but you never know until you take the field, reference when 2005 USC was being touted G.O.A.T
For the seasons of 2 undefeated I won't credit the BCS evaluation process, anybody could've picked the two contenders in '99 & '05.

Right, which is why we need an objective system to determine those teams in the other years. All those other years people can argue either way, but we have devised a system that combines a subjective component (the human polls) with objective computers to determine those two teams.
If you stop and look at the history of the BCS you will see that in almost every case you can say "yes, those two teams had the best combination of record and Schedule Strength of the field and were the most deserving". Find me 2 cases where you couldn't make that statement
