in 2007, OSU was the clear #1 at the time, the question was who was #2. It came down to us and LSU, they won the SEC we didn't, pretty simple
I agree, on paper we had no real right to go. However, my question is this; how did LSU jump 5 spots? OSU was 3rd and we were 4th and LSU was 7th going into that weekend. 1 and 2 lost obviously. I know why we didn't go, but why didn't the other teams ranked ahead of LSU go? They jumped over 2 other conference champs with equal records. I just don't see how you could justify them jumping that far after losing to UK and Arky.

UGA was higher in the polls for a reason.

It was hard to take for sure but considering LSU owned Ohio St. in the championship game you could argue that LSU was underrated/under-ranked in the first place.

One of the teams they jumped that year was Virginia Tech, who LSU beat 48-7 and the other was Kansas, who lost to Missouri on the final weekend of the season and didn't play for the Big 12 title. Kansas had a great team that year, but they weren't a big enough name to justify playing for the title over the SEC champion.
