The College Football Researchers Association has elected the Louisiana State Tigers as its 2007 college football national champion. 

Here is the first-place voting breakdown for this season:

1. LSU (12-2)- 11 votes
2. Georgia (11-2)- 2 votes
3. Missouri  (12-2)- 1 vote
4. Kansas (12-1)- 1 vote

The 2007 CFRA poll is the only edition in this retrospective series in which four different teams garnered first-place votes.  This voting distribution characterizes the chaotic nature of the 2007 national championship race in which the top 6 teams in both the AP and Coaches Polls finished the season with two losses.   The CFRA poll is also similar to the final AP Poll for that season in which four different teams received first-place votes and LSU finished at # 1 followed by Georgia at a distant # 2.  One difference though is that LSU, Georgia, Kansas, and Southern Cal were the four first-place vote-getters in the final AP Poll, whereas, Missouri received first-place votes here instead of USC. 

I hope you will continue to follow the CFRA’s retrospective championship project in which a different champion will be revealed and recognized each day from December 26^th until the night before the title game.  For more information about the CFRA and its retrospectively-elected champs, please go here: http://sportsentiment.com/2010/12/20/cfra-retrospective-national-champions-to-be-crowned/.  The official site of the College Football Researchers Association is: www.cfrapoll.com.
