I wouldn't trust SOS ratings though, it is determined by computers that are biased by the programmers.
The computers have their flaws, but "biased" is a stretch.
There have only been a handful of 14-0 schools, so that right there puts LSU in an elite group. We also beat likely the Pac 12 champion and Big East co-champion during the regular season. That alone is an amazing feat combined with the SECCG and 2 top 5 west foes. Only knock on LSU's schedule is that the SEC was a tad down this year as a whole (2nd best statistically) and we avoided the 2 best teams from the SEC East during the regular season.
I would say LSU has an argument for the best resume of all time partly because of SOS and also because we only had one close game against #2 Bama. That 2004 USC team was great bu had 3-4 close games against mediocre opponents.

Well said. Nebraska's 1995 team was the last team to plau like this from wire to wire. Ironically, Bear Bryant never had a team like this. His 1979 team was undefeated but on three occasions, they struggled with inferior opponents.
FYI, Colley Matrix ranked Florida's 2006 schedule #5 which is the toughest of all the Crystal Football champions, but they weren't undefeated.
