Let’s compare 2019 LSU to 2001 Miami

How in the hell do people seriously try to argue that they 2001 Miami team is the best of all time? They didn’t even play a top ten team in the regular season. They beat the brakes off of every opponent sure, but let’s look at their competition.
Toughest road games were at #14 Virginia Tech and at #13 FSU. I don’t even consider that win at penn state a big win because they went 5-6 that season.
LSU played 4 top ten teams in the regular season.
Do people’s east coast bias really blind them that bad where they can’t even give LSU credit? The 2019 LSU fighting tigers are the greatest single season team of all time. It’s just ridiculous that idiots try to argue that they aren’t.

It’s because of their roster and how they played in the NFL. Hell, Clemson 2018 had a better resume than Miami 2001.

When you look at the talent that ended up playing in the NFL off that 01 Miami team, it's the primary reason they are in the argument. Plus the utter domination of it's opponents.
Yes the schedule doesn't come close to comparing.
I place LSU #1 because we saw what a healthy LSU defense looked like at the end of the season (we made wonder boy from Clemson look like total garbage), and the immense talent differential at the all important quarterback position (Ken Dorsey?, yeah no).

Ok I can see that then. Well people need to specify then because saying that team is the best of all time is not the same as saying that 2001 Miami roster was the best of all time.

Yes the NFL talent On that team was insane but when people talk about that team NFL talent they consider Willis McGahee, Frank Gore, Vince Wilfolk, Antrelle Rolle and Kellen Winslow Jr. Who were all freshman backups on that team. Kellen Winslow only had 2 catches all year and Clinton Portis was the number 1 RB who had over 200 rushes which was more than McGahee and Gore had combined in 2001.
That’s like counting Apu Zika, Emery, TDP, Flott, Maurice Hampton, etc that can easily become NFL players.

This is the correct answer for the common reasoning, but, I believe the game has evolved tremendously in the past 20 years. LSU vs. Miami would be an LSU win in my opinion.

Another problem comparing the two is that there were no other elite teams in 2001. At all. The best they had to offer in the title game was a Nebraska team that got absolutely shredded by Colorado for over 60 points just running the ball down their throats. This year, we had three elite teams, maybe four if you count Alabama with a healthy Tua.

But they did play 4 teams in the Top 15.

They let #14 Virginia Tech come back from a 20-3 halftime and were a failed 2-point conversion from overtime (Final 26-24) to finish the regular season.
But, they did absolutely crush #15 Syracuse, #11 Washington and #4 Nebraska (Rose/BCSCG) by a combined score of 161-21. Impressive, but not nearly as impressive as what LSU did in 2019 - particularly from November 9th onward.
LSU could have scored A HUNDRED on #4 Oklahoma. That's not hyperbole. That's more or less a given. :letthatsinkin:

But after the blatant cheap shot on Clyde, I wish Coach O would have said frick it, and truly killed those frickers.

There was no point because you risk injuries in a game that doesn’t matter how much you win by. If it were a regular season game then yes we could benefit from style points. For example, if we could have kept the foot on their throats in Tuscaloosa, there would have never been a doubt that we’re #1.
33-13 at half should’ve been 46-20 final score.

No intelligent college football fan wants to get into this argument
Miami has been held above a fake standard for far too long.

LSU 19 beats the brakes off 01 Miami. Different time different athletes, as great as they were. 95 Nebraska is the test and I think our speed in the back 7 controls Fraizer. No way they'd score with us. Offense wins if it's unstoppable. Clemson saw that.

You left off probably the 2 best NFL players, Ed Reed and Andre Johnson.

his point was that the guys he listed were all backups on the 01 team. Ed Reed and Johnson were starters/ stars.

It’s not based off the 2001 season.
This team hit mythical status based off 02 draft and NFL careers...it’s that simple.

Thanks for understanding my point. Andre Johnson was the leading receiver in 2001 and Ed Reed was a bonafide star by that point so they don’t quite fit the point I was making.
Any time someone brings up the 2001 Miami vs 2019 LSU all you have to do is say. Who you want quarterbacking your team?
Joe Burrow or Ken Dorsey?
