Yes, but remember, results from 11-50 years ago diminish in points with each passing year.

So yes, LSU picked up 75 points for winning the Title.... but all your final AP Poll points from 1970-2009 lost just a bit of their value since they slipped further back in time.

Looking just at National Titles for LSU...

Your 2019 title is worth 75 points.... and will be for the next ten years since it is "recent history"

Meanwhile your 2007 title is now worth 72.19 points. Your 2003 title is now worth 68.44 points. And your 1958 title is now worth just 37.5 points because it was so long ago. Any title won more than 50 years ago is worth just half credit, so once it gets down to 37.5 points, it stays at that value all-time.

Those 2003 and 2007 titles will continue to lose value with each passing year until they reach 51 years old, then they'll hold steady.
