Yeah...2002...


The one team that no one talks about much during the Pete Carroll era, but one of his best teams. When the light finally came on for Carson Palmer that team just took off. They were rolling at the end of the year.

College Football News has done something similar...

Going back each title year and having a hypo playoff...but with 8 teams and projecting the winners...

From 2002 on...it was basically...USC, USC, USC, USC, etc., etc...and then Florida in 2008 and then Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, etc., etc.



So...maybe we really don't want a playoff when dynasties come around.

That was a really good team and if you used the BCS standings as your guideline you'd invite them to a four team playoff.

It is worth pointing out however that they were not the PAC 10 Champion in 2002. They lost heads up to a Washington State team that was also an excellent team and was also 7-1 in PAC 10 play.
