2006 had a tough road schedule and had a couple of clunkers, especially on offense against Auburn and Florida. But that team was NASTY by the end of the year, with Russell slinging it around to 1st round draft picks and Keiland Williams did some fine work carrying the ball, as well. Very good defense, too. I don't think we would have been ranked high enough with 2 losses that year to make a 4 team playoff, but 2006 is the sort of team that would be very dangerous if they ever went to, say, an 8-team playoff because with they were playing at the end of the year. And my goodness, did they ever lay it on Notre Dame in the Sugar.

Until I see a better one in my lifetime, I'll maintain thats the best LSU team I ever saw maybe the best in program history, when they were hot they were RED HOT and they would obliterate teams so much talent on both sides of the ball and JaMarcus did a helluva lot for his draft stock with his performance, he knocked it out of the park that season

I love 06, but as has already been mentioned, 06 obliterated teams like Arizona, Kentucky, and a soft as baby shite Notre Dame team.

07 blew the goddamn doors off of really good teams in VTech and Ohio State.

With both teams healthy and playing their best, I still think 07 doesn’t get the credit it deserves. No one hated Gary Crowton more than I did but he did an absolute masterful job working within the framework Jimbo left behind. For one year, that is probably the best and most consistent LSU play calling I’ve ever seen.

It’s tough to go against Jamarcus at his peak and that very stingy defense led by Laron, which was a noticeable void on the 07 D, but the 07 team as a whole on both sides of the ball, both running and throwing with two dangerous QBs, really did just have a magic about them that isn’t as appreciated as it should be imo
