Don't shoot me for asking. They won the sec, but lost the big one against a fellow sec team. Will they honor that team in 2021?
For what? They shite in the bed on the biggest night of the entire season.

Yea LSU was the laughing stock of the entire country when they won the SEC. No tolerance for failure.
They also had the worst performance in a championship game out of ANY team in the entire BCS era.

TLDR: Read the last line of this post
That LSU team's accomplishments will go underrated in the future. There's no doubt they will only talk about "GOTCII" and the complete domination. But in all honestly, that'll all that matters.
Look at the Patriots team that went 18-1. They were already considered the best NFL team in history. They lose the Superbowl to a wildcard Giants 9-7 team. No one ever talks about the other 18 games. LSU completely dominates the SEC, wins the GOTC, obliterates AU, MSU, and OM, and wins against a #3 Arkansas team. Too lazy to pull statistics, but between Oregon, WVU, ARK, UF, MSU, Bama, Aub, and UGA, had they won the NC, there would be no way to deny them them the title of the best team ever in college football.
We can sit here and debate JJ/JL all day or whatever, but in college football, playing the same team more than once is almost a fatal experience regardless. Especially considering you give Nick Saban, the best college coach in history in my opinion a month to prepare a #1 defense for Jordan Jefferson/Jarrett Lee.
LSU loses. No one talks about the regular season and the accomplishment of 8 ranked teams and what, 4 inside the top 10?
Patriots lose. I have never heard anyone talk about how remarkable the 18-0 was.
It doesn't matter if you backdoor royal flush yourself into the NC with 2 losses(2007) or end up winning the super bowl against the best team ever with a 9-7 record. Only thing that matters is who takes home the trophy in the end.
Side rant - I wish hypothetically football teams could play best of 7 games like the NBA. At the minimum best of 3. Some bizarre things tend to happen. Especially in LSU games. I just like series games because for the most part the best team will continue. Obviously I understand the logistics of why it would never happen. Just think that's the only way to determine it.
And to be honest, the first college team to go down undefeated and win the CFP will win the title as the best team ever. Pretty much should. Different game now than it was 5 years ago.
As I stated in my previous post. It was amazing to watch LSU take the field against Alabama. I would imagine those are easily the two best teams that either team has ever fielded and it happened in the same year. Like 45 players off those teams were drafted.. Obviously not all were starters, but essentially every starter was drafted. Offenses weren't particularly good. But it didn't matter how prolific your offense was.. Weren't moving it against either team.
MOST IMPORTANT:
I've never googled it because I have no desire to watch myself get embarrassed in even a local setting. But should you desire, go watch Ocean Springs High School(I.e. 2008-2011). Slow white linebacker that misses tackles and gets trucked ----- Yours truly.
Luckily, my career doesn't depend on me taking on people 40lbs bigger than me. It was certainly entertaining to watch from the other teams perspective.
ETA: Typos :(

Going undefeated in the regular season for the 2nd time in LSU history and the first time in over 50 years, winning the SEC and making it to the national title game. We've honored far less-accomplished teams. Get the frick over 1/9/12.

11 losses in 3 years after undefeated SEC Champs is a decline. Twist and turn all you want it's the truth. Doesn't mean LSU can't be on an upswing starting this year, but the last 3 following 1/9 were a decline.
2012 14th
2013 14th
2014 unranked
ps - After the NC in 07, we shite the bed in 08 finished unranked. Then progressed to 17th, 8th, and 2nd the next three years. Point being I do think Les can climb the charts again and be a serious contender in another year or two (no way this year 2015, aint happening).

FIFY.
Our defense held Alabama to 5 field goals through 3 and 1/2 quarters on 1/9 despite our offense not crossing the 50 *bleeping* yardline. The "team" did not fail.

Agreed. But there are a bunch of freaking idiots on this board as this thread proves.
And worst performance in a BCS title game? Guess that guy missed the USC/Oklahoma game, the Nebraska/Miami game, and the Bama/Notre Dame game.

Of course they will, just like all other sec championship teams. Half the stadium gets honored during football games anyway.

2012 lost entire defense.
2013 had some bad luck on offense and defense was suspect
2014 had new starting qb, 3 wr, rb, and host of new starters on defense. We were young.
Next two years you can shove that decline shite right up your dumbass.

There were warning signs in the SEC Championship game. That first half was nerve racking and the dropped TD in the endzone by the Georgia TE in that first half was huge. That being said, we only scored in single digits twice that year, and both times were against Alabama. I know special teams also played a role in that but it seemed like collectively we ignored the flags in the first Bama game and then they sort of showed up against UGA in the 1st half and then went full on tard on 1/9.

25 yards total for your QB is a pretty damn big warning sign.
