Michigan (USC knocking out LSU in the semis)
With fat frick Navarre at quarterback? Dude couldn't move. The Rose Bowl against USC was awful. He was terrible.
LSU's defense got after the quarterback more than anyone in the nation that year. LSU would have crushed them just like USC.
ETA: I misread that too, but OU would have smoked Michigan. OU's D was pretty good that year as well.
ETA: I misread. Thought it said Michigan over LSU in the semis. But I'll leave this here to illustrate just how fricking terrible Navarre was.
yeah, that's just insane. I wonder if they remember who was coaching LSU that year

Since you seem interested in their (CFN) analysis (not mine) -
Projected Final Four
Rose Bowl – No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 4 Michigan
Sugar Bowl – No. 2 LSU vs. No. 3 USC
Matchup Analysis: USC would’ve thrived on the road atmosphere. Matt Leinart and the offense had hung up 43 points or more in each of the final seven regular season games, and while the schedule wasn’t exactly challenging, the team really was that good. LSU struggled to put away Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, and it likely would’ve had problems late against the Trojan pass rush. Matt Mauck wouldn’t have had time to work, and Justin Vincent, the hero of the Sugar Bowl, wouldn’t have had much room to move. Oklahoma had put up monster numbers all season long, but it lost its mojo in the Big 12 title game. The much-maligned John Navarre would’ve been just good enough to pull off the upset over a Sooner team that had been exposed.
Projected National Championship: No. 2 USC vs. No. 4 Michigan
Projected National Champion: No. 3 USC
