If I'm coming off as whining and complaining then I certainly apologize as I'm not bitter in the least. The Auburn family sleeps well every night knowing they were among the best in the nation in 2004.

Football is a sport and like any sport the true champion is decided on the field. Unfortunately that's not possible in D1 college football where the system is more like a Miss America pageant. Well you know what? Sports isn't a beauty contest its a competition where the scoreboard is the only judge. Until D1 decides their champion on the field we're left with years like this where the recordbooks are going to show multiple champions.

What about USC being BCS & AP champions you say? Flip through the annals of college football and you'll find even more Tom, Dick, and Harry polls annointing a national champion and multiple schools laying claim to the same year. This year will be the same.

"Barely beat?" That does make me angry because you obviously didn't watch the game. AU never trailed and didn't even attempt a pass for the final 12 minutes. It was run, run, run, and guess what? Run. You sound like one of those caught up in "style points." Those folks need to go throw a wing and some yellow stickers on their car and find a car show; this is a discussion of sports.
