How can you make the argument that the 2007 team got the breaks?

1. lost two games to teams they had no business losing to
2. pitt beat WVU when all WVU had to do was win that game, and they were in. Pat White being hurt also was a huge break for LSU.
3. a ton of other teams losing helped get LSU into the game

basically the stars aligned pretty well for LSU after the UT SECCG win... with a backup QB.
