Quite and interesting name you have there…

For LSU to get disrespected by the National Press.

on the other hand, if you are looking for a single season of sheer dominance we never really had one.

2007 could have been that but the later season 3OT losses kind of disqualifies us.

2003, the team became dominate towards the end of the year but wasn’t just beating the heck out of people early.

For the decade we have to be considered in a two way race with Florida at the top but that’s for the whole decade.

As for Auburn 2004, the only close game they played in, from my recolection, was against us (the defending NCs) so yea, I’d say they deserve to be there and I still beleive they would have beaten USC had they been there, but that’s just me.

’03 SC up there would have been a double smack.

On the one hand, who cares what ESPN says? We won two crystal balls last decade, and Florida is the only other school that can say that. Championships stand forever. We don’t have to win some mythical tournament to legitamize our titles.

On the other hand, the ‘03 team is criminally underrated. I’ll put the ‘03 team up against anyone, even with the loss. I sincerely believe that is one of the ten best defenses in college football history, coupled with an offense that was top 20 in scoring. In that mythical tourney, ’03 LSU would certainly hold their own. The only team I think is clearly better is ’01 Miami… which ESPN didn’t rank #1 for some bizarre reason.
