that their school agreed to the rules. Different era; different rules.

What are these "rules" to which you refer? The ones you make up as you go along?

Do you mean to tell me that LSU can't accept a award from an organization besides the BCS for the college football national championship?

Did Alabama accept the AP award for the 2011 season? Wouldn't that be against those same rules?

Do you really think that Alabama's 1941 Houlgate claim is outside of the AP era from 1936 - present?

We accepted the AP trophy, but we claim to be the 2011 champions because we won the BCS National Championship game.

As an SEC school, LSU was a BCS school. The BCS was agreed upon by most conferences, including the SEC, to play the top 2 schools for a national championship. You got paid money divided by all the SEC schools, some of the money from the BCS games. The BCS championship game determined the champion. LSU lost to Alabama in the 2011 championship game.
quote:

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a five-game showcase of college football. It is designed to ensure that the two top-rated teams in the country meet in the national championship game, and to create exciting and competitive matchups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games.

It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals. Thanks to the BCS, the top two teams have played each other 15 times in 15 years by BCS measurements and 12 times in the last 15 according to the AP poll -- including the last nine years in a row. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls for all eleven conferences, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before.
