yeah, because someone put us #1 at the end. As I said, I know that if we were doing things "right", we should claim 2. But there's no uniformity in what schools do (see: bama) so I claim 5. The school only claims 2.
That's a bit different than what we were previously talking about though because starting in 98 there was a formal, official, and agreed upon system. Back then there wasn't really. From 1998 until forever (presumably) there should not be any split titles or confusion about who was the champion.
What about the school claiming 1942 even though it wasn't AP or Coaches?

I believe the rationale there was number of selectors. No other team had more entities vote them #1 than us (if memory serves both us and OSU had the same number of people vote them #1).
And honestly, that '42 claim carries faaaar more weight than USC's 03 claim.
