GOAT Vacated title: '04 USC or '19 LSU?

Since LSU's entire athletic department is about to be hammered soon, it had me thinking what would be the best team to vacate a title.
But after looking up what 2004 USC did, I don't think it is even a contest. 2019 LSU is vastly superior to 2004 USC.
2004 USC:
13-0
Defeated 3 ranked teams
Heisman winner (QB Matt Leinart)
Leinart won AP POY and Walter Camp Award
Also had the #5 finisher for the Hesiman (Reggie Bush)
DL Shaun Cody named PAC-10 co-defensive POY
Lienart and Bush named PAC-10 co-offensive POYs
Pete Carroll named COY by National QB Club
7 Players (8 positions wish Bush as a punt returner) 1st Team PAC-10
3 Players 2nd Team PAC-10, including RB Lendale White
While an amazing resume', '04 USC still falls short of 2019 LSU's accomplishments, awards, and accolades.

Why would the LSU title get vacated?

This is correct.

Yeah I know Golf Digest and the Opelika Tribune awarded the Barn the 2004 title, but I am talking about widely recognized pollsters at the time, not any Gump-esque championship claims.

We don’t recognize any USC titles in these parts. LSU ‘03 champs and Auburn ‘04 champs.

Which one of those happened in 2019 that you have evidence of?

The NC parade, hayride and tractor pull were memorable.
