Any game won next year(ASSUMING that the AD's of the 2 schools could pull enough strings to set up such a game in 7 months) has no bearing on what happened this year.

I too, along with you and others, know that playing next year would really mean nothing in regards to this year. Especially one computer company exec. This article appeared in today's Greater Baton Rouge Daily Business Report. Just thought y'all would like to read it.
LSU vs. USC? No way, says NCAA: The NCAA quickly squelched an offer by the head of a computer company who was willing to fork up $30 million for LSU to play USC later this month to determine the undisputed national champion of college football. Ted Waitt, the pony-tailed CEO of Gateway Inc. of San Diego, offered each school $10 million in scholarships for disadvantaged students if they would just play each other. The winner would have gotten an additional $10 million in scholarships, plus $1 million in computer equipment. "Everybody wants to see it happen," Waitt told the Associated Press. He faxed his offer Thursday to LSU Chancellor Mark Emmert, USC President Steven Sample and NCAA President Myles Brand. But the NCAA quickly put the kibosh on the deal, saying its rules won't allow it.
