Exactly. All the people saying that USC was champion are right. They aren't saying LSU
didn't win the title, they are just honoring the fact that the AP poll has almiost always been a part of college football. For example:
1990 Colordo Coaches Georgia Tech AP
1991 Washingotn Coahches Miami AP
1997 Nebraska Coaches Michigan AP
Hell, you could even argue that it was more legit than the coaches poll. Which I have in this very thread.
As a matter of fact, the reason the AP is no longer a part of the BCS is because the writers efused to automatically vote the BCS champion as number one, pointing out how screwed up the computer results could be and the fact that the BCS has changed its formul every year because every year something seems to screw up. the fact that "non-major" conference are basically ignored within the system is just one example.
Arguing that the AP is just an "opinion poll" when the BCS is calculated so that almost 2/3 of the score are the coaches poll and that bullshit "experts panel" made up of former players and heisman winners is a crock of shit.
The BCS is terribly flawed and saying that its more legit than the AP is ridiculous. If you're trying to say that you feel sorry or something because LSU has been ignored....fine. but the reason they've been ignored is because they won a disputed title over an overrated Oklahoma team while USC has destroyed everything in its path for like the last two years. What they did last year legitimized the AP poll the year before; while LSU's performance made the BCS game seem like a fluke
I don't even like 'SC. But if they win out again this year they are going to go down as the first three-peat champion in college history and that what everyone will remembe and acknowledge while all this whining you're doing will be a footnote that only you and other LSU fans will give two-shits about.
