The system we agreed to does not (and did not in 2003) require the AP to vote the BCSCG winner #1.
Ok fine. But we didn't want to acknowledge it then, so why acknowledge it now? If the AP vote was not credible in 2003, then you can't all of a sudden decide that they know what they're talking about now.

The AP was part of the BCS system in 2003. They didn't like the outcome, so they broke their agreement with the system they had previously agreed to be a part of and they crowned their own champion.
It was a completely illegitimate title in 2003.
Now, the AP is NOT a part of the BCS system. They have their own poll and their own title. If the want to crown a different champion, they can. It is as legitimate as the AP title in 1992 or 1979 or any other year before the BCS.
The AP title is legit. MUCH more so than in 2003.
Use logic. Don't apply how you FELT in 2003 to NOW. It is a completely different situation.

I think most of us had to acknowledge it. The AP title is widely acknowledged. We didn't like it but that a different issue. I didn't like it because I think they got it very wrong. USC did not deserve the AP that year. It wasn't even close.
