Arguing 1978 is not a legitimate title is beyond stupid. They were the AP champions after beating #1 as a #2. It was the same situation the BCS seeks to have now. Surely you dont think schools should only acknowledge unanimous poll titles. Do you count 2003 for LSU?

See my earlier post.

No problem with the AP '78 going to bama, or the UPI '78 going to USC.

IMO, since the inception of the BCS, that is the only one that counts.

Like 2003.

But, bammers luvvv to point out that LSU "had to share the '03 title with USC" but their collective mind has been lost with the thought that LSU or Ok St could get the AP title this year.

Totally different situations. Bama won the 1 vs 2 matchup in 78. Today, people are suggesting that LSU will win the AP if they lose a game designated as a championship. Dont think that has ever happened. But this is an odd year.

Since the inception of the BCS, all teams have started the season under the same rule that No.1 and No.2 play for the title. This year sucks for LSU and I would feel the same way most LSU fans feel, if the roles were reversed, but this is how the champion is determined. The AP is irrelevant in the BCS era. I could care less what they do, if Bama is fortunate to win. You can have an AP title. the crystal ball is all that matters.
