2005 SECCG - UGA upsets LSU 34-14

I remember walking into the Fan Zone in the Georgia World Congress Center and actually feeling intimidated by how many LSU fans were there and how sure they were that they were going to own this game (they were 10-1 and primed to return to the BCS title game if they'd won

No, we had no chance at the BCS title game, win or lose. USC and Texas were #1 and #2, and were likely to remain ahead of LSU in the BCS standings even if they lost that day. Also, even if they lost and somehow did fall behind LSU, Penn State was #3 and would have gone into the game ahead of LSU. The only possibility was for both Texas and USC to lose and somehow both fall behind us, which would not have happened. Also, earlier that day, Texas had already beaten Colorado 70-3, so even the one shred of hope there might have been was gone.

UGA was ranked #13 and had dropped a couple of close games to Florida and Auburn while DJ Shockley was hurt

Shockley was hurt for the Florida game, but Auburn? I'm not sure that's right.
