To be fair, this is VERY different.


In 2003, the AP was a PART of the BCS formula. It was one of the inputs in the formula and was a voluntary member of same.


It was AFTER that mess that the AP removed its participation in the BCS formula and the Harris Poll was created to take its place.


So, now it is a totally independent body. I expect that LSu will beat Bama and win BOTH the AP and the BCS.

However, it would be more like the Harris Poll not liking the final BCS results and awarding its own champion to actually be analogous to 2003 and USC

I never hated USC.

I hated that the BCS put an Oklahoma team in the title game when they hadn't won their conference championship.

LSU should have played USC and left no doubt.

Very different indeed. LSU didn't play (and beat) USC in '03.

Bama wins the season score would be 1-1, bama 12-1, LSU 13-1

But it doesn't matter because LSU won't lose in the dome anyway.

Had USC beaten us in '03 reg season it would have been different. I'll recognize a split champ this year because under this scenario we will have SPLIT with Bama.
