You haven't lived long enough, yet. You want to know what were terrible, boring seasons? The 1970s, when two teams dominated the Big Ten, two teams dominated the Big 8, one team dominated the Southwest Conference (for most of the decade), one team dominted the Pac-10 (for most of the decade), and one team dominated the SEC. Those were the five conferences that today would be the BCS grouping. Two teams also dominated among the many independents of that day. Look at how many times those nine teams were ranked among the top twenty at the end of the 10 seasons of the 1970s:

Michigan - 10
Nebraska - 10
Oklahoma - 9
Notre Dame - 9
Penn State - 9
Southern Cal - 9
Alabama - 8
Ohio State - 8
Texas - 8

And all but one MNC went to a member of that exclusive group during the decade: USC (3), Alabama (2), Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Notre Dame (1 each). (The one exception was Pitt in 1976).

You want boring? Nine teams dominating all the major conferences and six teams the MNC for a full decade is boring, except to the fans of those teams, of course. This year may not have had a single dominant team, but boring it was not.
