In 2011, you left out the fact that LSU beat both Alabama and Arkansas during the season. I think LSU would have dropped only from 1 to 2 with a Georgia loss, unless it looked like the national title game.

Right -- I should have been more clear about that. All three of those teams had one loss in the conference, but LSU went to the title game on tiebreakers because they beat the other two.

Maybe LSU would have only dropped to #2, but could that ranking be justified if they lost to a rival with four losses?
