If anything, this game just makes cherish the Fiesta Bowl victory against Miami that much more.

Good point. That 2002 Buckeye team needed extraordinary circumstances to win it all (Holy Buckeye play, crucial penalty against Miami late in the NC game, etc). This 2007 LSU team needed extraordinary circumstances to win it all (5 for 5 on 4th down to beat Florida, last second TD pass to beat Auburn, last minute sack and fumble to beat Alabama, everything going our way in the NC game against
OSU, etc).
