Please click this link: http://ncaasports.com/football/mens/history The NCAA lists two champions, a BCS one and a consensus one. Then click this one: http://ncaasports.com/football/mens/...0040101_USC@MI It's the NCAA recap of the USC bowl game from 2003. It states clearly on more then one occassion that USC had secured themselves a piece of the national championship. This is where the argument ends. To argue otherwise is pointless. To argue semantics about the word "trophies" when the AP doesn't have a trophy is pointless. If the one and only champion were determined in the BCS, why would they list two national titleists over and over and over on the NCAA's official website?
