As it should be. We demolished every tucking top10 team and set records and literally swept the awards

2019 LSU is not just the best in the CFP era. They are the greatest team of all time. Would crush 2001 hurricanes. Any of the Bama champs. Any of the 90s Nebraska’s. Any of the 70s OUs.

Yeah a 13-0 team better than a 15-0 team.

I was glad to see it, but I really think it's the best CFB team of all time. For perspective, here are the games of note in that run:

Scored 65 on NW St then 66 on Vandy in less than a week.

Beat Florida by 2 TDs.

Won at Bryant Denny.

Ran off 58, 56, and 50 at Ole Miss, then home against Arky and A&M.

Murdered then #4 Georgia after a 50-7 win over A&M.

Murdered then #4 Oklahoma. Literally, ran them off the field.

Murdered #3 Clemson.

The only knock will ever be the points that the defense gave up. But, if you watched the games, you would realize that the defense really didn't even kick it into gear unless they had to. That defense was nails when it mattered.

As they should rank the best team ever...could you imagine if they tried to put up any other team after everything said on their own networks about that team...the melt would be epic!!

in no world or universe would we ever crush that 95 team. They would control TOP and rush against us at ease...we still win though

Let's make sure Willy gets his hands on this for the SECR. I can already hear the Gumps crying.

bullshite. The SEC was as weak as it has ever been this season. Go back and look at your schedule and the records of the teams you played an how bad they actually were. TAM is average compared to other teams that have been ranked where they are right now. Georgia was pedestrian and Florida lost to us. Hell you may not even beat Clemson. Bama played one good QB this year in Trask.

Against AU in the mud. Stupid play calling at the goaline and in short yardage trying to ram into their DTs. Auburn only scored 2 TDs, one in the first half on a 20 yd drive following a muffed punt and one with 2 minutes to go with LSU up by double digits and playing in prevent. On a dry field, LSU wins by 14+. But even still, AU was a top 10 team and played very well on defense.

That Alabama team with Tua was likely a top 5 CFP era team. That was the game of the year and, I believe that at that moment in time, those were the two best teams in college football. Bama still needed a punt return TD, and long trick play TD and LSU to be in press man coverage for an 85 yard bomb with a minute left just to keep the score respectable. Three flukey TDs and still lost. Insane.

“Just got by Bama”? Did you watch the game? That was the 1st game in years where Bama players truly looked as if they knew they were not the better team.
