When creating the BCS, every school agreed that the BCS would be the only recognized national champion.


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.

wrong! Division 1 schools voted to implement the BCS format of that time. A huge majority voted in favor. After 2003 Pete Carroll said He (USC) didn't know what they were voting for. /cough/ bullsh@t /cough/.

If you believe his sh@t, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

ETA: I couldn't find a link to the actual voting but here is a link with a quote from Chuck Amato and subsequent info in the next paragraph or two..
Coaches Vote

You can look it up yourself. Every AD agreed to it. EVERYONE knows it. The media and west coast pussies just ignored it to create the bullshite.
