And you won’t find a single line in that document that spells out any agreement that the AP poll was obsolete or that teams had to accept the BCS title as the only title claim.


Nope, you are right. Nothing in the agreement they voted for called for the AP to be obsolete, but the coaches voted for and agreed that the Winner of the BCS title game would be considered Champ. And at that time the BCS format included the AP poll.

Also, there was nothing in that agreement saying my personal poll was obsolete either. So basically The #1 in the AP poll carries as much weight as the #1 in my poll whether anyone likes it or not including you. The fact still remains that the winner of the game that coaches voted for as counting as the champ decider just happened to be LSU.

Nobody on the planet is saying USC didn't win the AP championship. But the AP poll is NOT the method of determining the champ as voted for almost unanimously, including USC. These are the facts.

I might agree with you if there wasn't this pesky little vote almost everyone agreed upon (again including USC).

Sorry.

They agreed the winner of the title game would be voted #1 in their POLL. From 1950 through the BCS there were two polls that were universally accepted as having some authority over deciding who was crowned as champions. You are now telling me that one of those two polls had the power to render the other one obsolete?
