didn't have instant replay in 2004. so it went more like this: "the ruling on the field is something so obscure, that you've never seen it before, and will probably never see it again. But since we can't come up with any other excuses, this is the one we're gonna go with."
AP=media......LA=#2 media market in the U.S. which adds up to no way in hell the AP strips them of their fake AP championship. And no, the media lost all credibility a long long time ago. Unless there is a mass exodus from the LA area the media will always be willing to hold USC's balls in their mouth.
Since the advent of the BCS to select a single champion, the AP poll is as meaningless as any other poll. USC doesn't have a single national championship in the past decade.
Since the BCS title is vacated the title is up for grabs. I will take it. I don't think anyone is more deserving.
