Alright.....but they didn't. http://www.ncaasports.com/football/mens/story/8975902 2003 Sugar Bowl: Louisiana State 21, Oklahoma 14 What happened: LSU, which lost to Florida on Oct. 11, finished strong to win the SEC title. Oklahoma was dominant all season until losing to Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game. Controversy: The BCS was supposed to do away with split national champions, but the 2003 season had two teams hoisting trophies. USC was No. 1 in both the media and the coaches' polls but wound up third in the BCS ratings. Oklahoma was so dominant through the regular season that its computer rankings rendered the Big 12 title game irrelevant. At least it didn't matter until the Sooners lost to Kansas State. LSU took over No. 1 in the BCS rankings and OU fell to No. 2, setting up the Sugar Bowl game. USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl. |

You'd figure the NCAA would have been notified of this: |

Good job pal, the NCAA recognizes it. |

The NCAA uses the BCS to eliminate such occurance of a split championship. By using such a system, there is only one winner. LSU was that winner. The AP gave USC top honors, but they are just that...the press. They have no bearing on what team is champion. LSU was the national champion while USC was first in the polls. Big difference. |

Um, if the NCAA has it in their record books as two teams sharing the title, there is a difference. |

The point of that story is that the BCS system didnt eliminate controversy. Nothing more, nothing less. When all division 1-A conferences (like I said before, including the Pac-10 which includes USC) agrees for the time being that the BCS is how the national champion is determined, that is how it will be determined. Polls are an honor of their own, but don't decide the national champions. Only the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME determines that. |

That may be your point (and a good one), but there were two champions that year, which you and swami were flipping out about. |

No one is flipping out about it. But the specifics of the current NCAA division 1-A system is that the BCS determines a single and undisputed champion. Until they change the system (which hopefully they will, to a playoff system) that is how the champion is determined. The press can hype something all they want (after all, it IS their poll that they are going by) but swami and I are simply stating the current rules of the system. I think that qualifies as either overreacting or flipping out. |

Way to go Matt...I'm sure you've enjoyed your last 4 years in beautiful sunny Southern California, winning every game for 3 straight years, 2-3 national championships, playing with a lineup that looks like a pro team, then spending your free time banging underwear models and any turbo hotty co-ed within arm's reach. |

You really need to click that link I provided. They're both listed their as champions, one for the BCS, one for the AP. This isn't a fan site, it's the freakin' NCAA. They acknowledge co-national champs. |
