What a weird year. Alabama technically won it but was on probation. Auburn, LSU and Arkansas then basically tripped each other up for 2nd place and the division ended in a three way tie. All three teams were awarded SEC West "Co-Champs" and Arkansas was sent to the Championship game. What a weird freaking year. I know Auburn finished ranked #14 that year despite a 9-4 record.

Haha. I remember when the SEC West "wasn't" the best division in college football.

We had so much talent on that years team. Weird b/c I'm actually watching the Music City Bowl from that year on the Big Tne network right now.
We lost to Minnesota in that game. Houston Nutt

And Miss State still went 0-8 in conference that year. The stars lined up that year for either of the Mississippi schools to win the West and they still couldn't make it.

Was that the year that Arkie and Ole Miss went 7 overtimes. Best college football game I have ever seen.

Freaking Matt Jones.

fricking Miracle on Markham
We held Matt Jones to like 65 yards passing for 58 minutes, then he goes for like 70 with 2 passes at the end.
I guess it was a blessing in disguise because we would have gotten skull dragged by UGA.
Was a crazy year for sure. We got dominated by Va Tech to start the year. We rattled off like 5 or 6 straight. Dominated UF for the first time in ages, but lost Mauck which really killed us. Embarrassing blowouts to Auburn and Bama. Oh yeah and the Bluegrass Miracle

An Alabama vs. UGA rematch in the SEC title game would have been a great match up, they played a great game earlier in Tuscaloosa that year that came down to the last minute.
Alabama got gifted an SEC title game appearance thanks to probation in 93 and screwed out of one in 02 because it, so I guess it all evens out in the end.

I remember that 2002 Arky-LSU game, I skipped going hunting that afternoon so that I could watch that game.
Ironically everytime I skipped going hunting to watch the game on tv LSU has lost. 2002, 2007, 2008, and 2010.

2002 and 2008 were pretty much the worst seasons for LSU that decade.
Losing to Auburn 31-7 and Alabama 31-0 was not pleasant, even before adding the Arkansas loss to those.
