college football, unfortunately. If there had been teams in ‘84 with the resumes of 2004 USC or Auburn then there’s no way BYU gets voted number 1. And I don’t say that to take anything away from BYU but to point out how fickle CFB is (and especially how fickle it was pre-playoff). A championship season one year could only be good enough for a top 4-5 finish the next year.
