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.

You just said the AP and Coaches were the authorities starting in the 30s and up through 97.
For the record, I have no problem with y'all claiming 42. Don't try and have it both ways though.

To expand a little more...
In '42 UGA finished the regular season 10-1 with wins over #3 bama (interestingly enough, at grant field. Idk why) and #2 GT in our finale. Only loss was to auburn. Afterwards, we shutout #13 UCLA in the rose bowl.
In '42 OSU finished the regular season 9-1 with wins over #13 and #4 and a loss to #6 wisconsin. They did not even play in a bowl game.
