No different from previous national champions.......how often, if ever did the AP 1 and 2 play each other in bowl games for the national championship?
If you were the #1 team going into your bowl game and you won, you were going to win the national championship. What exactly was the debacle?

You've stated one of the better reasons for the BCS, different from the one I raised. The BCS has flexiblility to pair up teams such as the two best teams as determined by computers to play one another in the final game, a sort of faux national championship game. Would the BCS computer have ranked byu over #5 in 1984? I doubt it. Even had it been ranked no. 1, it would have had to prove itself worthy of the designation by beating a very good team that had survived the valley of the shadow of death.
BYU sucks.
