re: Give me the BCS back

Exactly. And the AP was just one component of the BCS. Everyone knew the rules and formula going into the season. USC was fine with it until it worked against them. It’s a BS claim.
I disagree, the BCS was technically the old Coaches Poll. The AP agreed to allow their poll to be 1/3 of the formula for the BCS. They never agreed to not award the AP Championship. USC won the AP title. That is a fact. In today's world with the playoff format, the the Final AP ranking will recognize the winner of the Playoff Championship game.
So I have always thought of LSU as the BCS NC and USC as the AP Champs. Of the 2, I think LSU has the better share of the NC for 2003.

Whether anyone thinks it or not, that's the way it is
I really don't know why LSU fans still get so upset about this. It's no big deal. There have always been split titles, it was 2003, in the 1990's there were 3 years, 1990, 1991 and 1997 with split titles and another year, 1994 with 2 undefeateds.
The claim that everyone agreed is false and people just buying BCS snake oil. If they had just taken the 1 and 2 from the AP, like happened with Miami and Penn State in 86, no one would have cared or had a problem with it.
