The arguement being that USC never won the BCS title in 2003, therefore a threepeat was impossible to start with. OnePeat.com has so far raised over $11,000 to purchase billboards near USC's campus to mock them.
OnePeat.com's billboard ideas.
So the USC fans have returned fire, and they plan a billboard of their own in Baton Rouge:
USCDynasty.com's billboard.
Orson at EverydayShouldBeSaturday.com's take is similar to mine. Do you *really* want to piss of a cajun? Do the USC fans know what they are getting into?
Personally, I enjoy the spite; however, the entire OnePeat.com argument is frankly stupid. USC was #1 in the AP and Coach's Poll at the end of the season in 2003. Through no fault of their own, a poorly designed system shut them out of the Sugar Bowl. Thus, LSU had to play an Oklahoma team that didn't even win their conference.
When you finish the season ranked #1 in both human polls, you should get to play for the National Title. That's the way that it has been for 110 of the past 120 years. When the BCS avenue isn't made available to you, you revert back to pre-BCS polling, and there is not a single program in America that wouldn't have handled things the EXACT same way as USC.
USC is just as much the 2003 Champ as LSU is.
It's a national title, and they should claim it.
That said, I did enjoy the USC loss in the Rose Bowl. Hook 'em.

I'm not happy USC lost to Texas. I can't stand the Longhorns being partial to the A&M Aggies. USC would have been two time champions in my book if they beat the Horns.
oddly....all the teams that have undisputed and unshared national titles were given the opportunity by the NCAA to go back and obtain a crystal football ball for the year in which they won it.
Georgia won it all in 1980. Total undisputed title. So we actually do have one.
We didn't buy one for the 1946 undefeated team that won the Rose Bowl and finished #2 in all but one poll, and we didn't buy one for the 1942 undefeated team that won the Orange Bowl and finished #1 in six polls but not the AP Poll.
