So as I was looking up the 2011 LSU as one of the Greatest teams in CFB history, all I got was that they aren't even close to being on that list, let alone be mentioned with the '71 Nebraska team. I can make a arguement. Nebraska had averaged 39 ppg, we're averaging 38. They're "Game of the century" was won by 4 points (vs. Homa, 34-31) whereas ours was by 3 points. I can name more but I don't feel like mentioning them but what do you think? Do you think we can mention them with the likes of '71 Nebraska, '01 Miami, '05 Texas, '72 USC, ect.?

But they didn't have to play a rematch of their "Game of the Century."

Something we'll have that they won't.

winning 1/9/12 will be the telling factor!

I agree but I think even if we lose, we should be mentioned up there.

'95 Nebraska is considered better than '71....

Lack of total yds/game and QB play will keep this team out of that discussion (not saying I agree).
However, one can argue it is the most accomplished season ever.

This is a JOKE ! UT's defense was not so great to be on the list, and if USC would have watched how Texas A&M schemed Vince Young, USC would have beaten them.
