Oh "only" the sports media and lets not forget the COACHES!

LOL - the coaches didn't vote them #1, they voted LSU #1.

The coaches were OBLIGATED to vote with the BCS result. Even at that some broke ranks and voted for SC.

from AP: The coaches were obligated to crown LSU (13-1), even though USC held the top spot in their poll going into the bowls. Three of the 63 coaches broke the agreement by voting the Trojans No. 1, but it wasn't enough to win that poll.
