to unify the poll results by picking two teams for a "real" national championship game. For the first several years the AP Poll factored in the determination of the BCS rankings, along with other factors including the Coaches Poll and computer-based polls. Because of a series of controversies surrounding the BCS, the AP demanded in December, 2004, that its poll no longer be used in the BCS rankings,<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and so the 2004–2005 season was the last season that the AP Poll was used for this purpose. </p><p>In the 2003 season, the BCS system broke down when the final BCS standings ranked the <a href="/wiki/2003_USC_Trojans_football_team" title="2003 USC Trojans football team">University of Southern California</a> (USC) at No. 3 while the two human polls in the system had ranked USC at No. 1. As a result, USC did not play in the BCS' designated national championship game. USC (who had earlier in the season lost in triple-overtime to an unranked U of California, 31–24) went on to decisively defeat No. 4 ranked <a href="/wiki/2003_Michigan_Wolverines_football_team" title="2003 Michigan Wolverines football team">Michigan</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2005_Rose_Bowl" title="2005 Rose Bowl">Rose Bowl</a>, while No. 2 <a href="/wiki/2003_LSU_Tigers_football_team" title="2003 LSU Tigers football team">Louisiana State University</a> (LSU) (who had lost to Florida earlier in the season) defeated the No. 1 <a href="/wiki/2003_Oklahoma_Sooners_football_team" title="2003 Oklahoma Sooners football team">Oklahoma Sooners</a> (who had lost the <a href="/wiki/2003_Big_12_Championship_Game" title="2003 Big 12 Championship Game">Big 12 championship game</a> to Kansas State) in a <a href="/wiki/2004_Sugar_Bowl" title="2004 Sugar Bowl">national title game</a>. As a result, the AP Poll kept USC at No. 1 while the Coaches Poll was contractually obligated to select the winner of the BCS game as the No. 1 team. The resulting split national title was the very problem that the BCS was created to solve, and has been widely considered an embarrassment.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2004, a new controversy erupted at the end of the season when <a href="/wiki/2004_Auburn_Tigers_football_team" title="2004 Auburn Tigers football team">Auburn</a> and <a href="/wiki/2004_Utah_Utes_football_team" title="2004 Utah Utes football team">Utah</a>, who both finished the regular season <abbr title="12 wins, 0 losses">12–0</abbr>, were left out of the BCS title game in favor of <a href="/wiki/2004_Oklahoma_Sooners_football_team" title="2004 Oklahoma Sooners football team">Oklahoma</a> who also was <abbr title="12 wins, 0 losses">12–0</abbr> and had won decisively over Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game. <a href="/wiki/2004_USC_Trojans_football_team" title="2004 USC Trojans football team">USC</a> went on to a win easily over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl while Auburn and Utah both won their bowl games, leaving three undefeated teams at the end of the season. Also, in that same year, <a href="/wiki/2004_Texas_Longhorns_football_team" title="2004 Texas Longhorns football team">Texas</a> made up late ground on <a href="/wiki/California_Golden_Bears_football" title="California Golden Bears football">California</a> (Cal) in the BCS standings and as a result grabbed a high-payout, at-large spot in the Rose Bowl. Previous to that poll, Cal had been ranked ahead of Texas in both human polls and the BCS poll. Going into their final game, the Golden Bears were made aware that while margin of victory did not affect computer rankings, it did affect human polls and just eight voters changing their vote could affect the final standings.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both teams won their game that week, but the Texas coach, <a href="/wiki/Mack_Brown" title="Mack Brown">Mack Brown</a>, had made a public effort to lobby for his team to be moved higher in the ranking. When the human polls were released, Texas remained behind Cal, but it had closed the gap enough so that the BCS poll (which determines placement) placed Texas above Cal, angering both Cal and its conference, the <a href="/wiki/Pac-12_Conference" title="Pac-12 Conference">Pac-10</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-POLLS2004_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-POLLS2004-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The final poll positions had been unchanged with Cal at No. 4 AP, No. 4 coaches, and No. 6 computers polls and Texas at No. 6 AP, No. 5 coaches, and No. 4 computer polls.<sup id="cite_ref-POLLS2004_18-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-POLLS2004-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The AP Poll voters were caught in the middle because their vote changes were automatically publicized, while the votes of the Coaches poll were kept confidential. Although there had been a more substantial shift in the votes of the Coaches Poll, the only clear targets for the ire of fanatical fans were the voters in the AP Poll. While officials from both Cal and the Pac-10 called for the coaches' votes to be publicized, the overtures were turned down and did little to solve the problem of AP voters. Cal went on to lose to Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl. Texas defeated Michigan in the Rose Bowl. </p><p>Many members of the press who voted in the AP Poll were upset by the controversy and, at the behest of its members, the AP asked that its poll no longer be used in the BCS rankings.
