Fact is, LSU will finish ranked one place higher this year because of AU losing. I root for the SEC too but not at the expense of LSU. Yes, AU losing hurt the image of the SEC but only temporarily. LSU's final ranking will always be on record. AU is likely the team that will compete against us for the West in upcoming years. This embarrassing defeat to Wisconsin could hurt their recruiting and help ours. These are the reasons why I rooted against AU. I did root for all the other SEC teams in their bowls. Is it fair for me to say that for you a one spot higher ranking for LSU was not as important than AU winning against Wisconsin? (yes or no)
Right, as long as we handle our own, who cares where Auburn is ranked to start '06. Just keep telling them how great they are. Put Irons on the SI cover over the Summer, and then let TT tell us how this is the most talented team he's ever coached.
