But it is recognized by everyone. ABC/ESPN uses it for the ratings until the BCS ratings come out. It was the only valid poll from 1936-51 and remains the most prestigious poll in existence today.

Everyone of the trophies in each school's trophy case says Associated Press National Championship.

You're not. Just happy to split the championship with whoever wins the BCS.

Sorry bub, no such thing. AP championship is as valid as sports SportsHoopla declaring a champion. In the bcs era the bcs title game decides the champion. That's all. There's no crying in football. Deal with it.

You forget the AP was part of the original BCS. The AP National Championship is the most respected title in college football. Been in existence since 1936. It's ranking are reported in every major newspaper and every Internet sports site. If you win the AP title you win 1/2 of the nc. That is the reason why USC and LSU split the title in 2003.

No it's not.


The BCS crystal ball has been the most respected since 94. That's why disney makes such a big deal about it.

What part of "before the bcs era" do you not comprehend? Did you not finish grade school?

Sorry but it was included in the BCS ratings until they asked out after the USC fiasco.

Just because you say it means nothing is meaningless to me. When a poll is included in every newspaper, television broadcast, ESPN, and the poll is posted everyweek, it seems to me the trophy has a great deal of meaning.

Not saying we're gonna win it, but because of upsets we have a legitimate shot at it.

and in that case a sec team or one loss ksu/oregon will still win the AP title. the big ten is down this year and without continued games to showcase the team it just isnt going to happen.

The best bet is for Georgia to beat Alabama, Notre Dame to lose at USC, and Georgia play another team like Florida St. If the game is close OSU could wind up number 1 in the AP. Still a longshot, but chances look much better than before this weekend.

So is the coaches poll and Harris poll. Should people start claiming coaches poll national championships? Get that weak shit out of here!!

National champions = bcs champions only
Deal with it!

An awful lot of people agree with me. AP poll counts for alot. I'll be happy with 1/2 of the nc.

ESPN also makes a big deal about the AP title. So does every media entity that I can think of.

If we win the AP championship, we have 1/2 of the nc. The TRUTH, you can't handle the truth.

tOSU made their own bed with last years moronic decision to not take their bowl ban last year. I guess they figured maybe they wouldnt get one but Id certainly rather miss a bowl at 6-6 than any other record.
