They were the "ap" national title 2 years ago. Since the bcs' inception, the coaches were required to vote the winner of the title game, the national champ but the ap could do what they wanted. LSU won the national title game so they were the national champs according to the coaches. USC won the ap. IMO they had 1 consecutive national title (i know but it just sounds funny to say) I think they had a very legit argument about not getting a shot to play for the title but imo the fact of the matter is they didnt win the national title game and thus werent the national champ. That said college football has a long history of split national championships. See UT 1970 after losing their bowl game.
