To be completely accurate, they were not selected for the 2003 BCS championship game, and their 2004 BCS championship game victory was vacated. However, they were AP national champions in both 2003 and 2004.
Not an SC fan, but I do consider them legitimate national champions in both years, in part because the vacated championship is relatively bogus, but more because the AP final vote holds more credibility for me than the BCS.
