I disregarded the nonsense that LSU has suddenly started spewing about them not being mentioned along with USC as being the National Champions two years back and that USC should not be considered going for 3-peat but maybe 2.5-peat or some such thing.

But then I read this article by Dan Wetzel, which does not seem to be sarcastic or humorous in any way. And I thought I should write my thoughts about it.

All I can say is, yes, BCS determines the National Champion, but AP also hands out the Paul Bear Bryant Trophy at the end of the year. The AP National Champion may not hoist the sad-looking crystal football but they are crowned National Champions if they finish #1 at the end of the year in the AP poll.

And USC is trying to make history in being the only team to win back-to-back-to-back AP National Championships. What is wrong with all media promoting that?

No one has said that they are going for the BCS National Championship 3-peat. No one has said that they did not agree with the BCS system before the season started. No one is saying that the BCS is flawless. No one is arguing with the facts about LSU being the BCS National Champion that year. But LSU did not finsih #1 in the final AP poll that year. Which is why everyone talked about Split National Champions.

So LSU fans, stop whining and concentrate on your Bowl Game. Keep winning and next year you may get a shot at the title. For this year, appreciate what Texas and USC have done - stay unbeaten through the year. Sit back and enjoy the game.

Oh, and win yours before anything else.
