If the old BCS was still in place, Clemson might own college football

Let’s face it. The College Football Playoff system has been good for college football.

It’s better than back in the day when the Associated Press Poll and the Coaches Poll claimed national champions. Sometimes they had the same champions, like Clemson in 1981, and sometimes they didn’t, like Colorado and Georgia Tech in 1990 or Washington and Miami in 1991.

I think the CFP is better than the Bowl Championship Series which ran from 1998-2013. Most of the time the BCS got it right, but there were some years when you wondered if it did, like the year Oklahoma got in and was hammered by Southern Cal.
