The most ridiculous thing was in 2007 when we were ranked 4th, two teams ahead of us lost, and we fell to 5th. That was pure "keep Georgia out, since they didn't win their conference" lunacy, which is made worse when you consider people (Herbstreit being notable, but there were others) who were against Georgia playing in the title game in 2007 but supported Michigan playing in the title in 2006 after not winning their conference.

I can buy the argument that we didn't belong in the title game, but to be ranked 5th at that point was completely asinine.

Yea, to DROP a spot after 2 teams ahead of us lost was completely absurd. I still can't wrap my head around that one.

While I agree, that didn't happen and LSU handled Ohio St. easily in the title game. Our problem as usual was not taking care of business at home against a 6 loss South Carolina and of course the embarrassing arse whooping in Knoxville which put Tennessee in the SECCG. Could UGA have beaten LSU in the SECCG? Maybe, we will never know. Could we have beaten OSU in the title game? Probably but again we will never know.....
