ESPN just showed USC as a back to back champ in 03-04.


Funny thing is they won it neither year. When creating the BCS, every school agreed that the BCS would be the only recognized national champion. They were stripped of the 2004 NC. So they haven’t actually won one since 1978.

Link? The schools didn’t agree to anything. The agreement was amongst the bowls and with the AFCA. The arrangement guaranteed that the winner of the BCS title would win A (not THE) national title by being ranked #1 in the coaches’ poll. There was no such agreement with the AP poll. It’s hard to argue that the team that was #1 in both polls at the end of the regular season, but was denied a chance to play in the title game because of computers, does not have a legitimate claim to a share of the title. Most everyone but LSU fans recognizes it as such.
