Except the AP doesn't conduct a national championship game, they vote on the results of the BCS national championship game. The BCS is made up of all the major conferences, Big 10, Big 12, ACC, SEC, Pac-10, Big East, etc. It's not just some random group of people voting, it is the system that combines all of the other polls with other things to determine the two best teams in the nation, and the conferences support the system. So the NCAA doesn't say "official national champion", but the conferences do.
All the AP Poll does is help the BCS choose the top two teams in the nation.
