I completely agree with you. I just thought he did a good job of illustrating what happened that year, so that's why I linked it.
But like you said, he's just a blogger giving an opinion. The NCF obviously did research too and thought we were strong enough to merit a share of the title. Another opinion of course, but it's as good a case as any.
Didn't mean to sound dismissive of what you had to say. It is a solid link, saw it earlier and read most of the way through it. It has some really great info in there.

No, you weren't dismissive at all. 
I've always felt LSU should do more to acknowledge the '08 team as a legit national champion.
I actually read a really good book about UChicago football under Stagg and they could have legit cases for more titles than the 2 they claim, as with a lot of schools during that time. Hard to say a team deserved a title more than someone else when there was no TV and no bowl games. It's a great debate either way.
