If the AP was relegated to being only a mere part of a formula, they wouldn't have the grounds to crown their own independent champion.
They took on an independent role in the creation of their rankings and independently crowned USC the champion.

there was a split then and not a "true" winner.
I'm not arguing that more than two teams could win the title. I'm arguing that one guy holed up in his office in 1945 awarding a #1 ranking to a team in 1934 is not legitimate.
The AP is comprised of numerous voters that are currently recognized as legitimate based on their experience as a sports journalist. The timing of the final ranking is immediately following the final football game of the year and is accepted by all FBS conferences and teams.
Bottom line: retroactively awarded championships should not count
