Talk:2003 NCAA Division I-A football season

Article status
This article was rated a "B" back in July 2006, I think --on review-- it needs a lot of work compared to some of the best CFB articles on Wikipedia. I have tagged the issues I noticed and moved back to start, because I believe it could be expanded to highlight more of the issues that occurred all over the college landscape --the article also needs some serious structural reorganization. The POV tag comes from the odd comments about "serious questions" brought up over the split-championship. Outside of some of LSU's fanbase, who are these people mentioned? --Bobak (talk) 22:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

December 2008 cleanup
I think this article is just fine, although certain parts could use more sources. One section which I do not dispute especially but really needs some support is this one:


 * The legitimacy of claiming 2003 to be a split championship season is challenged by a number of fans, most especially those from LSU. Supporters of this argument claim that by agreeing to participate in the current system, schools also recognize that the BCS produces an indisputable national champion. They also note that the AP was a party to the agreement, under which the polls were merely a component. The other side argues that the BCS is no more an authoritative body than the Bowl Coalition or the Bowl Alliance, and there were split titles under those systems as well.  Also, the NCAA does not recognize any champions from Division 1-A football, since there is no undisputed post-season system. It is important to remember that the bowls are not NCAA events, merely exhibitions, although since the award giving bodies began factoring in the bowls in their final polls, these exhibitions have risen in importance.

I've removed it from the page and am leaving it here if someone can find sources. I was not able to find anything outside of team forums, which I would don't think can be considered a reliable source, even if we are talking about opinions of supporters.

With the cleanup here I am going to remove the tag on the page, especially since there has been no argument on this page. --Ten Thousand Bullets (talk) 02:45, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
