All of them, of course, were incredible but I believe my favorite is still 2003. Never thought I would see LSU win a championship in my lifetime and the way the season played out and with the championship game being in New Orleans it all seemed almost unbelievable.
At the time I thought it might be a once in a lifetime happening.
Who knew?

2003 was amazing and something that I never thought would happen

2019 was an absolute surreal return to glory

I have to give the nod to 2019

The question was “Most exciting”, which doesn’t necessarily mean BEST.

Clearly, the best was 2019.

I’ll go with 2007 as most exciting, as I’ve never been mentally pulled in so many directions as a fan, up and down, and how many things had to fall into place to make it to NOLA for the title.

I can still remember the last night of the season, watching. Hoping.

Wasn't around for 1958 but for me it's 2019 in a landslide. Most satisfying team and most entertaining games i have ever watched. Throw in a after each victory by Coach O and

2019=GOAT

Fwiw 2019>2003>2007

2003 was my freshman year. I went to all the home games and the SEC and BCS games. Not sure anything could top it.

2007 was a fun year as a student again, and we had some amazing games in there.

2019 was just stupid and is the answer to the question.

2003: The split kind of taints it, unfortunately. LSU fans may not want to accept that, but the rest of the country certainly views it as a split.


Jesus. There was no split. EVERY coach agreed at the outset that the BCS championship would determine the college football national championship. The rules don’t change because the media says it should. The AP poll was a component of the BCS formula. Let’s go ahead and call the Dunkel index champion part of the split.

The Justin Vincent play was the most exciting play, I know that.

First play of the first national championship game I ever saw LSU play. I didn't know what to expect. Then, suddenly that happened. I came unglued.

2007 was personally more enjoyable than 2003 since I was going to LSU at the time and attended most of the games.

Even though I was only present for the NC, 2019 wins this in a landslide though. GOAT team with the GOAT QB, the team was just dynamite to watch constantly. Can’t tell you how many times I’d go to the restroom, tend the grill or something, only to come back and find we’d scored another 7-20 points

For me it was 2007, my senior year at LSU. Went to every home game, Tulane in the Dome, and a women's volleyball match to earn the priority points for SECCG tickets, which in turn resulted in 2 BCSCG tickets. The highs and lows of that season are unparalleled... Nail biters versus Auburn and Florida, gut wrenching 3OT losses to Kentucky and Arkansas. I remember sitting in the student section after Arkansas, one of the last still in the stadium, just smoking cigarettes and mapping out in my head what it would take to get back in the top 2. Go to Tiger Bar and tell some friends what we need; got told I was crazy. The rest is history!

The 2007 "season" was on meth, but the actual championship game was probably the least exciting of the three in the second half.

Most exciting 2007, followed closely by 2019.
2007 had the amazing Florida game
final play Aub game
the OT games
and beating the team I hate most (OSU)

And who can forget the 2011 season. That was my favorite besides the championship game

Without question, it has to be 2003 for me. I was a grad student and had season tickets that season. Also, it was our first one in close to 50 years. It was our declaration to the sports world that we were now one of the elite programs in college football. I'll never forget being in New Orleans that night we beat Oklahoma!

I respect 11 season as much as 03 and 07
That team was one victory away from matching 19 plus they beat bama at bama

03 usc offense was legit and they had athletes on d
I do thinks LSU 03 defense was better than usc d
It would have been a good game to see
Ashame 4 team playoff wasn’t around back then because ou was very talented as well
at end of season it was hard to separate the one loss teams

The 07 team was talented but how in the world do you lose those two games
You knew Uk was going to be tough coming off the fla game and all that emotion
Ark was always one of those games that were wild and unpredictable with nutt there but LSU had plenty of chances to win that game
