re: A look back on 2019 lsu vs 2001 Miami and 1995 Nebraska

2020 was a better overall team than their 2019 counterparts

I disagree based on talent, they played the game BETTER than their 2019 counterparts, that much I'll grant you and they played in a messed up Covid season with half-empty stadiums. That's why I compared them to the 2018 Villanova because that wasn't an Uber-talented team but every component played their part to PERFECTION.

they had a comparable QB

Even accounting for Mac Jones' spectacular season, he vs Tua in a talent battle isn't a comparison, Tua's more explosive and Jones owes a lot of what he did to DeVonta

WR unit that was just as dominant as the 2018/2019 group

They lost Waddle for basically half the season and it was basically the Smith/Metchie show (mostly Smith since he gained 1,800 yds), not at all a talent comparison to Ruggs/Jeudy IN ADDITION TO Waddle/Smith. I'm not backing down from this as I said previously.

The 2020 defense was also better than the 2019 unit.

I did not disagree with this, NOW it wasn't the talent freak show of 2021 OR 2022 with Anderson, Mathis, Turner, To'o To'o, Battle all performing at the peak of their powers relatively but anytime Christian Barmore and Patrick Surtain are your top guys on D, bodes pretty well for you.
