LSU jumped to the top b/c of the "eyeball" test, namely our dominating win against VT

the domination might have been eyeball test, but i think the decision was more about a head to head win. i think if we'd beaten them by a TD, we still would have gotten in.

and UGA? no

UGA had a comparable regular season to ours, were playing unquestionably better than we were at the end of the season and had the same regular season record. we won the conference champ game and thus had a better record...overall body of work > UGA's which is why the voters jumped us over them. It certainly wasn't because we were so convincing in that game. But if I was voting based on eyeball test, even after the SECCG, i'd have voted UGA.

there were multitudes of comparisons of UF and Cal

Well, I admitted losses were in the discussion, but they were always second to overall resume. Our wins got us there in 03 more than USC's loss kept them out.
