ESPN says USC is trying for their third BCS title since 2003, yet when I look at the list it only shows them winning in 2004.
In 2003 USC was given the AP Champ even though the team they beat was Michigan, who had two losses that season to Oregon (8-5) and Iowa (10-3).
In 2004 USC dominated Oklahoma, however they should've played Auburn
In 2005 USC got beat by Texas, scratch that, they got beat by Vince Young.
In 2006 After losing to Oregon State & UCLA they were still able to win the PAC-10 and beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
All of that said the top picture can't be true.
