...Not to rehash ancient arguments, buuuutt- LSU won more games (12) in 2003 than USC (11) did; they had a tougher strength of schedule AND had more points vs. common opponents (Auburn and Arizona) than USC... But hey, SC did get a bunch of writers to vote them #1- that carries a lot of weight :bigeyeballs: ... BTW, this argument died three years ago; just thought you needed to be reminded of the reasons WHY it died with LSU being awarded the National Championship......
