Um...what? From 2002-2008, USC was the dominant power in college football.

They won championships in 2003 and 2004. the 2004 championship was vacated due to the Reggie Bush cheating scandal. Bush played in 2003, too, so it should have been vacated, also. I mean, 2003 was his first season. The inducements he and his family received were received to get him to attend USC.

So, yes. They had some really good seasons that were made possible by cheating. They even got caught and punished for it. The championship they got before the vacated ones went all the way back to 1978. So no. You'll have to excuse me if I do not consider championships won by cheating as legitimate.
