You may have noticed that SB Nation is doing a massive, site-wide series of pieces on the 2007 college football season. If you’ll remember, that year was as crazy a season as we’ve ever seen, with the national championship participants shuffling almost every week for the last several weeks of the season.
LSU eventually won the national championship over Ohio State, but both were in the game thanks to losses by Missouri and West Virginia. That’s right. Mizzou and WVU would have been the national championship matchup that season, had the Tigers not lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship and the Mountaineers not lost to Pitt in Morgantown.
