USC had two titles. LSU and USC shared the title in 2003.
LSU is the champ in 2003. When the BCS formed, everyone agreed to abide by that system and those rules. The AP was a PART of the BCS WHOLE. It was merely an ingredient. Just like the dunkel index or wtf it is, the massey rating, colley matrix, coaches poll, etc. They were allll just individual bits of the BCS whole. The BCS was designed to put #1 vs #2 in a true national title game. LSU won that game; USC did not. I don't care if people think USC was a champion that year, they weren't. It'd be no different than the coaches poll declaring someone a winner this year that didn't win the playoffs.

USC took home the AP Trophy which has only been the standard since 1936
And starting in 1998 it didn't count. And it counted even less (as in, didn't count at all) the following year in 2004.

LSU was the National champ in 2003. LSU and LSU alone. AP trophy counts as nothing more than a pat on the back after the '97 season.

So every school signed an agreement that they would only claim final rankings awarded by the Coaches Poll (which agreed to use the BCS CG outcomes at the top)?
The AP never agreed to anything other than that their poll could be used as a portion of the formula. Unlike the coaches poll, they never agreed to match the outcome of the formula.
And no school pledged not to adhere to the AP Poll if it came out differently.
LSU is the 2003 National Champion. Enjoy it. No reason to re-write history in order to try to elbow out USC from legitimately having a share.
