The Case of the "Mythical" Champion

This can lead to alot of problems for the BCS. Here's a situation: LSU beat Oklahoma 21-17 but USC was voted #1 by the AP poll after a 28-14 win over Michigan in the Rose Bowl in 2003.


Here are some other situations where this happened:

1954 Ohio State (AP), UCLA (UPI Coaches Poll)
1957 Auburn (AP), Ohio State (UPI Coaches Poll)

1970 Nebraska (AP), Texas (UPI Coaches Poll)
1973 Notre Dame (AP), Alabama (UPI Coaches Poll)
1974 Oklahoma (AP), Southern California (UPI Coaches Poll)
