Wrong.

There is only one national champ. It is the winner of the BCSNCG. We won it in 2003. Whoever wins it this season will be THE national champ. There is no "split".

I refuse to act like the whiners and sycophants from California who claim USC "shared" a national title with us in 2003. As wrong as the BCS is about being set up for Bama to possibly sweep in and claim a title in this way, this is the way it is. We all knew it going in, and if the roles of LSU and Bama were reversed we'd want into the NCG and we'd claim the full title for winning it.

There can be no split. And we will win come January.







I agree that we will win.

But, you are wrong here. The AP poll was part of the BCS in 2003. They didn't like the outcome, so they pulled out AFTER that year and have awarded their own national champion ever since. USC's AP "championship" was illegitimate in 2003 because the AP didn't like the outcome of the system that they had agreed to.

Every AP championship since has been legitimate, though, including the one that LSU won in 2007.

Wrong. LSU and the SEC signed up for the BCS, allowing it to place them in a bowl based on it's requirements. Like it or not, that's the way it is, just as with USC.

If you don't recognize the BCS NC as the accepted NC, then get out of it. No whining otherwise. Or you sound like a Trojan.
