The one LSU shares with USC should really be on there.

Co champion just doesn't say "great" to most folks

There weren't co champions, LSU is the national champion. Not sure why some people struggle so mightily with this. In 1998, all the conferences agreed to abide by the BCS system. There was a system in place that everyone had to play by. There were different spokes (polls and computers) that all made up the wheel of the BCS. The end result was the #1 and #2 teams in teh BCS playign for the national title. LSU won that title game, they are the national chapmions.

Let me ask you thi, if the Harris Poll or the Colley Matrix had crowned someone else a champ, would it be a co champion? Of course not, and it's the exact same scenario. The AP was simply one part that made up the BCS whole. Their vote was irrelevant, it was meaningless.
