I have been thinking about this. Think of the games we missed. So, here they are. I think 2008 is the most intriguing. Also, Pete probably would have won a couple more for SC:
1998
#1 Tennesse vs #4 Kansas State
#2 FSU vs. #3 Ohio State
1999
#1 FSU vs #4 Wisconsin
#2 Va Tech vs #3 Nebraska
2000
#1 Oklahoma vs #4 Oregon State
#2 Miami vs #3 Washington
2001
#1 Miami vs #4 Oregon
#2 Nebraska vs #3 Colorado
2002
#1 Miami vs #4 SC
#2 Ohio State vs #3 Georgia
2003
#1 Oklahoma vs #4 Michigan
#2 LSU vs #3 SC
2004
#1 USC vs #4 Texas
#2 Oklahoma vs #3 Auburn
2005
#1 SC vs #4 Ohio State
#2 Texas vs #3 Penn State
2006
#1 Ohio State vs #4 LSU
#2 Florida vs #3 Michigan
2007
#1 Ohio State vs #4 Oklahoma
#2 LSU vs #3 Va Tech
2008
#1 Oklahoma vs #4 Alabama
#2 Florida vs #3 Texas
(Notice what happens the year after Alabama v Utah in G5 schools)
2009
#1 Alabama vs #4 TCU
#2 Texas vs #3 Cincinnati
2010
#1 Auburn vs #4 Stanford
#2 Oregon vs #3 TCU
2011
#1 LSU vs #4 Stanford
#2 Alabama vs #3 Oklahoma State
2012
#1 Notre Dame vs #4 Oregon
#2 Alabama vs #3 Florida
2013
#1 FSU vs #4 Michigan State
#2 Auburn vs #3 Alabama
2014 was the start. I think it’s interesting to look at least the BCS era. It proves we’ve already got a better system than the BCS. I do wish we went to 16 teams.
