The AP championship is as meaningless

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.
