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.

Yeah...2002...
Whipped Iowa in the Orange Bowl - when everyone was on Brad Bank's and Iowa's nuts by simply pounding the ball on the ground in the entire second half - Saban-Bama style...very physical and talented team.
Two tough losses for USC...early in the year in Manhattan by a TD against (back then tough K-State) and an OT loss in Wazzu (and yes, back then when Wazzu was really good.)
Closed the season to whip #7 Notre Dame and #3 Iowa.

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.

So was Georgia. I still think that's one of the 2 or 3 best teams we've ever fielded. After the UF loss, we beat an Eli-led ole miss team by 2 touchdowns, beat a 10 win Auburn team on the road, beat tech by 44 points, won the SECCG by 30 points. Ended up doubling up FSU in the Sugar Bowl, but I would put that UGA team in a bowl game against anyone else in the country.
