Why is that all that really matters? That is the underlying assumption in all of this. Why must we pretend that a playoff in football gives us much-needed certainty.
But regardless, it won't end the argument over who should be the champion. There will be a year when Boise State loses one game and doesn't make the 8 team playoff, and plenty of people (mostly tv and radio talking heads) will insist that we don't really know if USC is the rightful champion because they lost once two and never had to play Boise State.
ETA: Right now number 9 in the BCS is undefeated Boise State.
