Am I the only one that is triggered by this statement every time it is shown?

ESPN just showed USC as a back to back champ in 03-04.

Surely they have that crystal for 2003 to show for it

We had a system and process in place to determine a champion. They lost. It's that simple.

Fire up the FUSC bumper stickers in prep for 2024.

College football at the time was run with a heavy pac 10/ big 10 bias doing everything to hype their top teams via media love. USC was the poster child for that even as a couple of their teams in that era were very good

I get that we are supposed to hate them for claiming that one but in reality though we were better that year imo, the next year for them kind of showed that the 2003 team was pretty damn good. It isn't improbable that they would've beaten us. Right situation, badly.

It's sad for a university to claim a NC when they know who hoisted the crystal ball. It's the behavior you would expect from a 3 year old.

They’re the Alabama of the West. Facts and reason never stand in the way of their narratives

USC’s offense would have gotten absolutely clobbered by that ‘03 LSU defense. It would have been ugly. That USC team was a product of media hype, and Pete Carroll’s campaigning.

I would’ve liked nothing more than to have played USC in the BCS national championship game. But USC couldn’t get there. Oklahoma did and we beat them to win the national title

Funny thing is they won it neither year. When creating the BCS, every school agreed that the BCS would be the only recognized national champion. They were stripped of the 2004 NC. So they haven’t actually won one since 1978.

The stupid part was people saying USC should’ve been in instead of LSU. Their beef was with Oklahoma getting in, not us.

Didn't USC have the 2004 National Championship vacated?


ETA: Ah the BCS Stripped them of the title but AP still considers USC the 2004 Champion. Typical.
