Miami was still in the big east at that time, right? Pretty much a joke of a conference
big east was stout at that time compared to the laughing stock it is today

ONLY IF THIS TEAM CAN FIND THE WILL POWER TO BEAT A BAMA TEAM bent on proving that it was the best team in the 1st game this year .LSU better not let Bama get 10 or 14 points ahead , There will be no come back !! Bama is just as good as this Tiger team except in the kicking game . Which I bet has been worked on worked on worked on and reworked on !! Knowing Saban his 1st 15 points maybe from the FG kicker just to prove Bama can kick a few FG's This is one game we do not need the other team to jump out of the gate on us !
Oh yes , just one season as #1 will not make this the greatest team to play college football . There have been teams in the past Oka that have been #1 for multi years in a row ,maybe after LSU wins the NCC 3 or 4 years in a row then we can start to say ,
"We got the best team ever "

I don't think it's even close in comparison. You can only go back a certain number of years to get a 14 game schedule to begin with - that eliminates a lot of years and great teams.

LSU's schedule has been brutal and the margin of victory significant against ranked teams - w exception of Ala.

Bottom line is LSU must beat Alabama in the BCS championship and if they win by double digits then yes LSU football team in 2011 will be the BEST college football team EVER. Even a 1 point victory will be enough to put them up with the very best of all-time. Geaux Tigers!

In recent years the only team that catches my eye for comparison is USC 04. I know they cheated. But just remember how they dominated teams.

Eta. Nm. Schedule was soft.

they aren't putting much effort into this... Like I said earlier in the thread... It's gonna take educated people to make an educated statement... Something the rant seems to lack most of the time

Guess I should have searched then. But the search sucks and it would have pulled up a shite ton of irrelevant posts. This place just sucks though. Only had a couple of good responses in 4 pages. I'm done with the rant for now

This team might produce more NFL players than that one

All of our RBs have a shot in the NFL, several O lineman, almost the entire 2 deep defensive line, several secondary players, several WRs

That team had like 17 1st rounders and like 40 plus selected in the draft. Name me the 17 1st rounders on this LSU tean.

Beat #7 Kansas State 49-25
Beat #5 Colorado 44-21
Beat #9 Kansas 41-3
Beat #2 Florida 62-24


Avg MOV for these 4 games is 30.7 pts, not 37. Hate to be a stickler, but if you are going to throw a stat around like you have all during the thread, try to get it right.

Anyway, comparing teams that played during different decades, with different conferences, and under different bowl systems is pretty much a useless exercise. Why can't we just say that, with a victory on 1/9, LSU can ascend to the level of one of the great teams in CFB history?

Team is special but need to let the last game play out. Bama pretty good as well. Best ever probably not but in the conversation for the top five .

I think this team will be the best ever team after they beat bama, the best LSU team ever and one of the best collegiate teams ever.

EVER ? not to be rude, but
using EVER is the sign of someone young who will be proven wrong.

EVER, NEVER, ALWAYS.. stay away from these.
also, how do you define BEST ?

*IF* they beat Bama again...then we can talk. We'll see how the offense does; not a single first down in the first half against Georgia. 2 field goals against Bama in regulation.

I suspect that that this whole argument depends on one single thing. And that is Jordan Jefferson's passing efficiency in the Championship game. If the throws for 150-200, opening up the run...we'll win. If he blows the easy throws, allowing their LB's to play the run...like the first game, only we might not be so lucky to see them freak in the OT. And all the 'greatest team ever' talk will be in reference to Bama.
