How a playoff would have decided every college football title since 1966 - ESPN

Arguing about sports is forever a growth industry. But we in the college football universe have proven ourselves standouts in this regard: We don't ever have to even change what we're yelling about!

The «playoff or no playoff?» debate raged for almost 50 years, from the mid-1960s to the early 2010s, and when we finally got one, we immediately began debating about playoff expansion.

The «super league breakaway» debate that has picked up steam lately? We've been talking about that one since the 1970s, when the Alabamas and Oklahomas of the world got annoyed about having the same NCAA Division I voting power as the Ionas and Mercers.

Conference realignment? Conferences have been realigning since conferences first became a thing, but rumors and power moves have been in fifth gear for basically 35-45 years now.
