There was substantial media and fan controversy as to which teams deserved to play in the National Title game. USC was ranked #3 in the BCS standings but #1 by both of the human polls, the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and the AP poll, which made up a portion of the BCS Standings. Southern Cal owned a record of 11–1, with its one loss coming in triple overtime at unranked <a href="/wiki/2003_California_Golden_Bears_football_team" title="2003 California Golden Bears football team">Cal</a> 34–31. </p><p>Once the game commenced, LSU's #1 ranked defense held the country's most prolific offense, which had averaged 45.2 points and 461 yards per game, to 154 total yards (32 in the first half) and just one touchdown until midway though the fourth quarter. The Sooners' Heisman Trophy-winning QB Jason White completed only 13 of his 37 passing attempts for just 102 yards. He was also sacked seven times and intercepted twice. LSU's offense was largely supplied by freshman running back and Sugar Bowl MVP Justin Vincent, who rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown. </p><p>As a result, LSU won their second national championship and first since <a href="/wiki/1958_LSU_Tigers_football_team" title="1958 LSU Tigers football team">1958</a>. The majority of the coaches voted LSU National Champions as contractually required by the BCS.
