Debate over USC three-peat chance
On several sports message boards, fans are arguing over whether USC would three-peat if it wins the national championship this season. At the center of the disagreement: USC won the AP title in '03, and the AP and BCS championships in '04.
So, if you're a purist, and your definition of a three-peat is winning three straight BCS crowns, then USC cannot three-peat this year. It can only do so if it wins the Rose Bowl and next year's BCS title.
Basically, USC is going for a three-peat because a Rose Bowl victory means three straight years of winning some sort of national championship (BCS, AP, or both).
I think this whole argument is unnecessary, and just gives fans something to do while awaiting the Rose Bowl. The debate was started, and has been perpetuated, by people who want to tear down what USC has done.
