Even if the AP spits the vote, it's completely irrelevant these days. We are currently in the BCS era and that is all that matters. LSU won the BCS Championship in 2003 ergo they won the national championship, period.

Banned from Big Ten Championship Game + Banned from Bowl Game = No split title for Ohio State

Exactly. If they were allowed to play in their championship, I could see it. But not going to any bowl game at all and no conference championship, does not equate to an AP Trophy.

But, I would not be surprised if they were ranked in the top 5 preseason next year.

Last night I saw an officiating crew in Madison work their stripes off to keep OSU undefeated, and the Big 10 somewhat relevant

^^^ THIS is what Delany and his officiating minions are working for this year
That is what you are hanging your hat on - a conference wide officiating conspiracy designed to get one of the B1G team ranked in the top 5 to start the season NEXT YEAR? :conf2:

We still have a big game with Michigan to close out the season, but next year is going to be tough. We lose a lot of talent to graduation and we do not get the benefit of the extra bowl practices. If we are somehow ranked in the top 5 to start the season, it will be hard to stay there - but it will not be because of some great conspiracy.

Just a little better than 2weeks ago Bama was without doubt the #1 team.

I think after we beat ND 35-0 they will be again.

No Split, just like last year.

I simply can't see it happening. AP voters are keeping a number of teams ahead of my Buckeyes - enough to keep them from this scenario. They want to march to the beat of their own drum, but they don't want their trophy to become a complete joke by awarding a team on probation their championship.
they also have a bowl ban and no championship game to play...big hit to their season.
