Nonsense, it was a split national championship. And frankly both were bogus, just winners of a beauty contest and a single game each, not a real playoff to determine a championship.
No, it wasn't. LSU didn't have to "split" their crystal football and was declared the BCS National Champ in 2004, not a Co-Champ. Granted, the BCS sucks, but don't try to revise history like the other media lackeys. Until the fools in the NCAA realize a playoff CAN and SHOULD be implemented, the crappy BCS rules apply. Don't try to change the damn rules.
