Then state the criteria and make it apply across the board. If you count a "national championship" for a given year, it can't be because Golf Digest named you, unless you are willing to make the Golf Digest "champions" just as legitimate as your BCS winning team in 2010.

Why isn't it just as legit?
In 2010 Auburn and Oregon were the clear cut two top teams. The only two with an argument to play for the title. In 2010 the BCS was legit and picked right.
In 2004 there was 3 teams tied at the top, all with an equal argument to play eachother for the title. The BCS made its selection and the two teams it picked both turned out to be frauds. Golf Digest awarded the NC to the only team of 3 that wasn't a fraud. That means in 2004 the BCS was wrong and Golf Digest was more legit.
Computers make mistakes. It was judging off of a human made formula, one that was often adjusted including right after 2004 because everybody knew Auburn was screwed over. The system doesn't always work and it's okay to admit it.
