The NCAA doesn’t have anything to do with NCs. AP poll had one for years before the playoffs. So did Coaches poll, National Championship Foundation, GolfDigest, and the one AU got in 2004…: The People’s National Championship.
The year before, 2003, the NCAA didn’t award a National Championship to LSU either. You may recall that one differently since LSU was in on a controversial “split” championship. But lemme guess…..
“THAT’S DIFFERENT!”
the People’s National Championship? Is that the same one Central Florida got a few years ago?
