Well that's completely different. The BCS was a system everyone agreed to play under with a trophy everyone agreed to play for. There was nothing like that prior (the Bowl Coalition and Bowl Alliance didn't have participation from the Big 10/Pac 12/Rose Bowl).
You're saying the same thing I am.
My point was that people generally count AP/Coaches titles from the 30s (or whenever the hell it is) til 97, because those were the authorities. 98-13, teh BCS was the one and only authority. Yet some people still think USC was a "national champion" in 03 when they absolutely in no way were. Very big gripe of mine.

They weren't always the only authorities though, not up through the 60s.
The USC thing is iffy because the AP Poll was still part of the BCS and OU had no business being in the title game over them.
