I think we would have won 89 playoff and beat Miami in rematch. I also think 10-1-1 1992 team that finished 4 was playing better than anyone in the country at the end of the year and would have won if they got in. 88 and 93 would have been great rematches but I’m less confident we would have won those.
Those 4-teams: 1970 team - the 1989 team - the1992 team - 1993 team.
As for teams that won the National Championship but who would have been at risk if a playoff system had been in place, I can think of only one. That would be the 1977 team. I am not saying Alabama would have beaten them, but it would have been a hell of a game.
