Worst undefeated team since BYU in 1984.

The BYU situation some 30 years ago really started the discussion on finally eliminating the messiness of crowning a champion just based on polls. It was that very discussion that got the BCS system going by the late 1990's.
But really, what finally got the four-team playoff was the complete disgust over Alabama playing LSU again in the BCS Championship Game a few years ago. While not perfect (I'd like to see it evolve to an eight-team playoff with seeding done with a modern version of the BCS ranking system), at least now it's way better than it used to be.

Just wondering...How do you measure that? The schedule was made 5 - 6 years ago for this season, so FSU played who was on their schedule. In a bit of an ironic twist, every time they defeated a team, that team fell in the polls causing their SoS to slide...What to do...
