		<description><![CDATA[Good lord, jerseyshore, are you really this retarded? The AP doesn&#039;t award the actual National Championship. USC did win the actual championship a year later, but.....drumroll.... they CHEATED and said game was vacated.

So no, your pathetic media darling team is nothing more than a bunch of losing cheaters.

Get it yet? Are you tired of being hopelessly wrong?]]></description>

So, um, no. USC is not “recognized as the BCS title holder”. 

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

——————————————-
 
So in regard to being wrong which of the following statements is untrue.
1.  USC was recognized as the national champion in 2004 by the AP 
2.  USC was the recognized as the national champion in 2005 by the AP &amp; BCS.
3.  The BCS later (which means after) decided to vacate the 2005 title in May 2011
4.  The 2005 BCS National champion game was never played.  USC did beat Oklahoma by the score of 55–19.  They were never the 2004 BCS Champions nor were they identified by the AP as  the AP National Champion.

Of course none of this has anything to do with the topic.  But I give up..... 

“You are a slow learner, Winston.&quot;
&quot;How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.&quot;
&quot;Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

We lose schollies, a bowl ban and got roasted by the national media because 1 man lied...about 5 guys who sold their own property..

It&#039;s not like their Dads admitted to shopping them around......it&#039;s not like they were given $300,000 by a booster.......It&#039;s not like &quot;somebody&quot; sent a kid to his death in hurricane force winds.........is it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Presidential Oversight Committee (POC) of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) today vacated participation by the University of Southern California (USC) in the 2005 Orange Bowl and the 2006 Rose Bowl, and also vacated USC&#039;s BCS national championship for the 2004-05 season, following a May 26 announcement by the NCAA that it had denied USC&#039;s appeal of sanctions imposed last year. As a result of the POCs decision, there will be no BCS national champion for the 2004-05 season.

&quot;The BCS arrangement crowns a national champion, and the BCS games are showcase events for post-season football,&quot; said BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock. &quot;One of the best ways of ensuring that they remain so is for us to foster full compliance with NCAA rules. Accordingly, in keeping with the NCAA&#039;s recent action, USC&#039;s appearances are being vacated.

&quot;This action reflects the scope of the BCS arrangement and is consistent with the NCAA&#039;s approach when it subsequently discovers infractions by institutions whose teams have played in NCAA championship events.&quot; 

-------------------------------------------


So, um, no. USC is not &quot;recognized as the BCS title holder&quot;.

		<description><![CDATA[Um, jerseyboy, I did no such thing. USC has won exactly 1 National Championship (the AP does not determine the recognized National Champion, sparky, that&#039;s just an opinion poll without an actual championship game). They also had that 1 title vacated because they, um, GOT CAUGHT CHEATING. 

As I said, the SEC has dominated college football for most of the last decade (6/10 = 60% &gt; 50%, ergo &quot;most&quot;).

Talk about being challenged at math, you apparently don&#039;t know WTH &quot;most&quot; means.

USC = the most overrated bunch of losers in NCAA history. I mean really, the only time you can actually win a championship, you have to resort to cheating.

hahahahahaha]]></description>

Spare us the three paragraphs of excuses for USC. I said USC has zero BCS titles. Was I wrong? Absolutely not!
————————————-

USC was the BCS champion in 2004.  That championship was later vacated by the NCAA as part of the sanctions.  Since USC remains recognized as the BCS title holder on the NCAA website, USC still has the BCS title.  

In any event, @infrno started flinging incorrect and inane comments completely off topic related to SEC superiority and USC&#039;s record.  My response was to point out there is no SEC team and respond to @infrno&#039;s error which was &quot;It’s funny to see a USC fan, whose team has won exactly 1 National Title in anything close to recent years&quot;  Since USC has won two (for you SEC guys who may find counting a challenge, that is the number after one).  The on-topic remarks provided commentary on the relative lightness of the sanctions imposed on tOSU for which now they are asking for relief.   That said, if tOSU want relief they might try an appeal to the NCAA COI.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So let us all agree that Ohio State, LSU, USC are all excellent college football programs. Florida, Texas A&amp;M, etc are fine programs. All of these teams (even in their present condition) would beat Notre Dame by 4 TD&#039;s. 

... but I digress.

Let us focus instead on the astounding stupidity of those fans that would petition the leader of the free world to alleviate one&#039;s need to have a satisfactory television bowl viewing experience in early January.

You conveniently forgot the fact that USC has a grand total of ZERO BCS titles! JUST so you know!
————————————-
 
I&#039;m good on the facts.  On the other hand you seem to have a problem in this area.  Just so YOU know, USC was identified as the National Champion in 2004 and 2005.  (2003 &amp; 2004 seasons).  I didn&#039;t say USC held the BCS title even though that title WAS awarded to them in 2004.  You may have bought into the idea that the BCS title is the only valid recognition but since the championship team is not determined by an NCAA championship or tournament event it is nothing more than a mythical national championship.  A championship that is based on a highly flawed selection process I might add.

Be it as it may, USC remains recognized as the National Champion on the official NCAA website list of champions and we don&#039;t have to play some version of &quot;let&#039;s pretend&quot; to change that reality.  

Since LSU has a 4-1 BCS record trailing only Florida in the group of SEC teams, not really sure what point you are attempting to make.  It&#039;s not a myth to say there are some really good teams that play in the SEC conference.  USC&#039;s run from 2003-2009 was impressive as any team from the SEC or any other conference.  The idiotic, over-the-top sanctions were imposed, appealed and upheld.  Whether you agree or not on the point of USC knowing about Reggie Bush receiving benefits, the levied severity of the sanctions was based on USC&#039;s compliance.  As an action that warrants a penalty that compliance or lack-thereof is miniscule compared to having the head coach covering up multiple and diverse activities and even though he was aware, having those players participate in post season play.  tOSU got off lightly and rather than petitioning to play they really need to STFU.]]></description>

@forever LSU:
 
Do you live in a backwater swamp that is stuck in some redneck time warp? It’s like you haven’t made it to 2002 yet.
 
I’ll ruin it for you. Ohio State becomes the first 14-0 National Champion with a win in the BCS’ Fiesta Bowl over Miami, who was riding a 30-some-odd game win streak at the time. 

LSU did beat OSU in the 2007 title game though. Hey we elect a BLACK president (the dude in this article) TWICE, also. 

But hey, 2003 is right around the next corner for you. You’re going to love that year in your end the swamp. I promise.
____________

Okay I give, weedboy.  WTF are you talking about?  I was responding to USC fans and made no mention of OSU.  Haven&#039;t thought a second about OSU since 2007 blowout.  Obviously, that bothers you.  Good luck with that pardon thing though.]]></description>

The people responsible for this should put the remote control down, turn off honey boo boo, step away from the Big Mac and kindly depart the country.

The only thing I&#039;m unsure about is whether it is worse that someone thinks the president needs to weigh in on the matter, or that somehow the university should not be responsible for tat-gate. 

I need to go off into a corner somewhere and decrement my faith in the future of humanity by 1.]]></description>

Didnt think we’d ever agree on something. Love your comment about A&amp;M exposing SEC myth. 100% right on

Johnny Manziel played in the Big 12 last year?

Kind of like how LSU exposed the Oregon myth last year?

Kind of like how Arizona exposed the USC myth?

Sure is going to be fun to watch another SEC rematch this year in BCS title when Florida plays Georgia!]]></description>
