re: USC - 2003 National Championship

I get that we are supposed to hate them for claiming that one but in reality though we were better that year imo, the next year for them kind of showed that the 2003 team was pretty damn good.

Well there was a system in place which USC and their entire weak arse conference signed on to. It was called the BCS.

You don’t just award yourself a Natty because you played as #3 and beat #6 while #1 and #2 play each other. The AP just used USC to protest the BCS because they were becoming irrelevant.

Regarding USC, they lost to Stanford who was fricking terrible. So exactly what is their supposed claim to the 2003 Natty? They have as much a claim as UCF had to the 2017 Natty over Alabama.

Systems apply and are not subject to on the fly changes because 1 school gets butthurt.
