How did it work?
The BCS had LSU #2 going in and awarded us the BCS Championship. The AP awarded their championship to USC. If not for the BCS, USC would have been the national champs and LSU #2. If the BCS had used the later formula instead of duplicate computers and formulas, the match up would have been USC vs LSU and there would be zero controversy.

If my aunt had nuts....
The BCS was the system everyone agreed before the season would determine the NC. There was no controversy to people that stick to the rules regardless of the outcome.
The AP was part of the formula. If they had a problem with it they should not have participated. Which of course they pulled out the following year but that has no impact on 2003 results.

I think the AP voters were pissy about USC being left out, and made a statement vote.
I do agree that USC should have been in instead of Oklahoma. LSU caught the fallout, due to being the other team involved.
The real problem was how much Oklahoma was built up, which was ultimately marketing. If they had been treated like just another team, getting smoked in their conference championship would have dropped them below 3, and there wouldn't have been a controversy.
