re: Is 1979 USC clearly the most talented team to play LSU in Tiger Stadium?

I think the methodology people are using to say that USC is the "most talented" college football team is flawed.

First, a team that didn't win a national championship isn't the "most talented" college football team.

It makes no sense to judge a college football team's "talent" by future NFL All Pros.

Is a Michigan team led by Tom Brady "more talented" than a Florida team led by Tim Tebow.

2020 Alabama was the most talented visiting team ever to play in Tiger Stadium (and I hate recency bias). 1988 Miami is up there too. There are are probably 10 Alabama teams (including 1979) and probably a couple of Florida teams that were "more talented" than USC.

They MOVED !!!!!!!!

I agree that the better team that night lost against USC. But that Miami team was really good in 88. The just crushed LSU in a monsoon. And made it look easy…..

Not a chance, those USC players were outstanding in college as well. What they did in the pros only cemented that fact. It's debatable Bama ever fielded a team that talented, certainly not 10.

You were doing good until you put a 2020 team in this. That year doesn't count. The scores were like arena league football. No team played defense.

They had 6 first team All Americans and the Heisman. They were filthy regardless of year.

You know how I can tell you don’t know shite or was even born then? I have the SI cover for the “VOTE” they gave to Bama. It was total bull shite. SC would have beaten the piss out of them.
