Maybe more than we remember.  Once 5 undefeateds. Once no undefeateds but plenty of 1 loss teams. 
Look at last week of 2007 when back to back weeks too two teams lose.  2006 Boise and 4 1-loss teams. 
Lotta folks thought 5-6 teams better than Notre dame. Couple times Boise and TCU and Utah had beefs.

I think the point in 8 is that would be even less chance of a controversy. I agree usually with the top 4.  But I can see a discussion for couple outside of top 4.  There are times when a team has lost a game or even two and because of that have no shot at top 2 or even top 4.  But the way they are playing at the em of the year nobody would want to play them.  I think with 8 you almost certainly take out controversy.  Could even squeeze in a Boise or Utah just to show folks why playing a weak schedule shouldn't guarantee them a shot at the title.

boom, nice (close) call on the temple over. looking forward to the rest of your plays this saturday.

also, i like how youre sticking with clemson in a possibly-biased move.. haha.. but really, the defense is legit enough to shut down BC and the qb should be able to lead enough scoring drives to cover. 

I saw them go neck & neck with my seminoles this year.. thats a tough, young team that is learning how not to self-destruct.

A 4 team playoff with the BCS computer system in place is ideal in my eyes.

 

I don't know if we can all agree, but I sure as hell do...

It is suspicious to me that it took so long to institute a playoff system, and they only did it under the premise that humans will decide who is in it... using the old BCS computer system would have made much more sense!

Top 5 coaches?  lol.  No.  Did you see their last couple of seasons?  Did you see him not manage a 21 point lead last week?

Mama said there would be days like this Boom_Boom, but you only got knocked down, not out, so I expect you to come out next week and deliver a knockout!
