I just don't get the love for USC in 2006.
2006 USC wasn't in good form...they wouldn't have done well in a playoff.
The reason for anti-playoff people - like Bama is now - is that usually USC was smoking hot at the end of the year and playing their best.
The old joke was - the only thing keeping USC from winning the title every year - is that they drop a game they shouldn't early in the season...ergo, the Polls.
With a playoff now - you get that mulligan.
It's less a reward for the season, I suppose and simply who is the best - at the end of the year.
But 2006 with Booty injured and playing like crap at the end against UCLA - wasn't going to be much better - probably.

I do like regular seasons to matter more and playoffs do diminish that. Larger sample sizes give us a better picture of who the best team is. But in CFB with so many teams playing such wildly different schedules, its rare that one team clearly stands out as the best over the 12-13 game regular season. End of the year polls are often influenced by the preseason rankings and name brand teams. While the winner of 1 special game is not automatically the best team, its better than just voting on who is the best team. Limited playoffs are the best alternative imo since you can not have everyone play every one.
