Bill Connelly put the 2019 LSU juggernaut behind a 2020 Bama squad with an easier schedule that feasted on teams dealing with COVID-19 restrictions. Talk about being short-sighted!

Almost every good player in the country opted out in 2020. That year is an asterisk no matter how much Bama and A&M cry otherwise

Even the 2019 Bama team was better than the 2020 team

I don't think any team defeated as many top 10 teams as 2019 LSU team did.

Don’t let that bother you. Nobody ever says “this is the new 2020 bama”. It’s always “this could be like 2019 lsu”

Stupid a Alabama team that played in front of no crowds and some games players didn't even play due to covid.

No Fans
Sit Outs
Covid Restrictions
13 Games
Played a team that was 7-0 while they were 12-0.

Sure Bama handled it the best but the 2020 Season isnt brought up in most conversations at all much less the best team ever convo.

I don't so much care that it's Bama, but the fact that you would attempt to hail a weird Covid year team as your "best ever" just seems kind of odd to me given how much of everything was "off" during that season.

These opinions don't matter. They played for empty stadiums and beat up a seven-win OSU team in the natty... they can argue all they want. It was a weird season and can't be compared to a normal year of college football.

how the Tide succeeded against all of those cardboard cutouts in the stands was truly amazing.

Seriously, not even Saban’s best team at Bama.

The notion that 2020 Bama was superior is a preposterous joke. They played in front of empty stadiums against teams missing multiple starters and stars due to COVID. That team NEVER had to play in front of a capacity, hostile SEC crowd. They never had a true road game. Ever. Not once. They never faced an opponent with its full compliment of players. They played in a bizarre, aberrant, surreal, Orwellian year when most players and fans were distracted and indifferent. Total indefensible joke.

It's very arguable that the 2019 Bama team was actually better than the 2020 Bama team.

2019 LSU would beat 2020 Bama by two TDs or more.
