Yep, both times the dog was highly ranked and would play for the National Championship.
No dog has won it with no chance at the title since 2001, I believe. Those days are over.
Not sure what you're talking about here, but ok.
UGA had no chance at all at it in 2005. Look up the year's BCS rankings from before the conference championships. All they had to play for was a better bowl, pride, and the chance to play spoiler.
But you're also talking about a game where the team that wasn't the opening favorite has only won about 5 times total.
(Also LSU was ranked 24 in both the coaches and AP polls that year; they just weren't ranked in that week's BCS.)
