Losing to two unranked doesn't diminish your resume?

I'm not convinced that 2007 LSU was that great.
@ UK 37-43 3OT loss
AU 30-24 win
@ UA 41-34 win
3 weeks later...
AR 48-50 3OT loss
TN 21-14 win
That's hardly what I'd call a dominant team. 2 losses to teams that'd finish the season unranked. Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee weren't good teams, but LSU struggled against them. LSU also struggled against a good Florida team. LSU's only good regular season wins were Virginia Tech and Florida.
LSU dominated Ohio State in the BCSNC, so I won't say that LSU didn't belong there; however, in a year like 2007, what two teams really were the 2 best in the country? Alabama only needed a maximum of 2 teams to lose in 2011 and 2012 to make it to the national championship. I don't feel like counting how many losses LSU waited for in order to get into the BCSNC. Furthermore, Alabama did not lose and struggle in the last 2 weeks of the regular season. They lost in early November; there's a big difference between that and Thanksgiving Day and SEC Championship game weekend.
