USC is still waiting to hear the NCAA verdict. Among the many punishing possibilities is that the program may have victories vacated and be stripped of the 2004 BCS National Championship.

USC won that Championship game by defeating Oklahoma 55-19 in the Orange Bowl. If the victories are vacated, we must pretend that game was never played.

Auburn completed the 2004 season with a victory over Virginia Tech in the Fiesta Bowl. The Tigers finished undefeated. Regardless of what happens, no one can deny that Auburn had a perfect season, which won’t be the case when you view OU.

Another outsider is Utah. Urban Meyer’s Utes defeated Pittsburgh to become 1 of 3 programs to finish with an unblemished record.

So, here is the question I’m asking. If the Trojans are stripped of the title, which school should rightfully wear that crown?
