re: The 2011 team was not great, stop it

Let me preface this by saying the OP clearly trolling. If it isn't then may God have mercy on your soul.

You are trying to look at a team based on their performance in one single game (albeit the biggest of the season). That is just a plain awful way to do any sort of analysis. That's like me saying that Troy beat LSU who beat Auburn who beat Alabama so Troy should be national champions...



I like to think of the 2011 LSU football team as one of the most accomplished of all time with wins over:

8 ranked teams
3 teams ranked in the top 3
the SEC East Champion
the Cotton Bowl Champion
the Orange Bowl Champion
the Rose Bowl Champion
the National Champion

If LSU beats Alabama in the National Championship, they have to be considered one of the greatest teams of all-time.


And I also happen to think 2006 was LSU's best and most underachieving team ever. Loved me some JaMarcus.
