I was as steamed up over 07 as everybody else was, but people need to realize we didn't get screwed out of anything. People have their blinders on 24/7 instead of taking a step back and actually looking at the reality of both years.

The reality is

We were ranked 4th and LSU was ranked 7th and 2 teams in front of us lost so the natural order would be for us to have to lose or someone would have to make an incredible statement to leap frog all the way from 7th to jump us in the ranking. Instead, the media went into full attack mode against Georgia who was sitting pretty with all the teams in front of us losing never mind LSU had just recently lost a game but ignoring all that....the campaign that the media did was complete horseshite. If the voters wanted to say they improved 4 or 5 spots better than us after beating UT fine but the way it was done was mind boggling. Using that Conference title bullshite when it's convenient yet coming on and saying there is no better team than Bama or more deserving a few years down the road even though they did not win their conference is horse shite.
