Re: For all those who hate USC
[ QUOTE ]
LSU/Oklahoma/USC all had one loss in the regular season. Oklahoma had gotten blown out in the final game of the year prior to the bowls. USC was the number 1 team in both polls, but ended up third in the BCS poll behind Oklahoma and LSU. USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, LSU beat Oklahoma in the championship game, and LSU was number 1 in the coaches poll, USC was number 1 in the media poll. [/ QUOTE ] Ohh... thanks. Follow up Q: isnt the national championship game decided beforehand? Like, this year we knew it was the rose bowl. And, whichever teams are 1 and 2 in the BCS play in that game, right? So, why was USC called 'national champions' if they didnt didnt win the nat. champ. game? Do media polls just count for more? (sorry, but like I said, Im new to this. And it all seems pretty retarded)

So the National Championship was technically split.

There is more "officialness" (as I make up a word) to a BCS championship, although not particularly more legitimacy.
