Any chance Baylor or TCU win a national championship by finishing 1 in the AP poll if either of them blow the doors off of their bowl opponent and Ohio State wins the playoff in exceptionally unimpressive fashion?

Baylor is ahead of Ohio State and TCU is right there as well.

The AP championship is as meaningless as the FWAA and the NFF championships, and the only people who care about it are self-important media hacks. What matters to the players and the coaches is who gets to hoist the Crystal Football over their heads with their school-colored confetti raining down on them.

False. The AP championship was the most meaningful metric in the poll era. For years the UPI(coaches poll) handed out a national championship at the end of the regular season and before bowls were played. Are you freaking kidding me?

The Coaches Poll is a huge farce. It's political AF and coaches don't have time to watch teams from across the country when they have to focus on their team and that week's opponent. Most of the time, some rando in the athletic office fills out the poll and runs it by the coach.

eta - Still mad about 03? I like LSU a lot, but USC's AP national title is legit too. Hard to say which team was better without seeing them play on the field.
