ended well? If we hadn't beaten LSU I think everyone would not look on that well but now. It is kinda part of the bigger story of the season. They were ranked at the time.

When Bowden ordered up a tombstone for beating Tennessee in the Peach. Since then I think there have been one or two others added for neutral-site wins over a ranked team.
Also the "top 20" has evolved to "top 25" to reflect poll rankings, I'm almost positive.

especially meaningful about beating a ranked opponent in their home. I believe this was the initial meaning of the tombstone. You had a ranking...we came into your house...and we took that ranking from you.
