There was a lot of justification from voters for keeping USC and Oklahoma 1-2, when all they had to say(and some did) that they just couldn't all of a sudden take OU from the #2 spot when they'd been there all season and not lost. Some of those justifications had merit, especially the one that AU had just played USC the 2 years prior and lost both of them. the rest were just spin.


I also remember at the time everyone thought the USC/OU game was going to be close. A lot of the AU got screwed talk didn't start until after USC destroyed them, at least outside of AU fans.

Are you serious? That one was BY FAR the worst "justification".

I mean, it was a screwing either way. Not necessarily in a "out to get us" kinda way, but any undefeated team from a major conference with a bunch of signature wins getting left out is a disaster.
