So Steve Atwater would be sending a bunch of guys to the hospital.

I think one of the records that is going to be very hard for future teams to top LSU is that LSU was undefeated while playing 7 top ten teams and 4 top 5 teams.

Agreed - that will be a tough one to break. What Nebraska did in 95, prior to the current playoff format, was similarly impressive: they beat 4 teams that finished in the Top 10 by an average of 31 points. Heck, they had over 560 yards rushing against a Saban defense. KSU had the #2 scoring defense in the country that year — over 1/3 of the points they allowed the entire season came at the hands of the Huskers. Tommie Frazier was the MVP of 3 straight national championship games, a record that also will likely never be broken. Had a 60-3 record over a 5-year period, with 4 NCG appearances (winning 3). Now that’s dominance.

Most people remember Grant Wistrom and Jared Tomich and the Peter Bros., but many overlook the fact that Nebraska’s defensive backfield was solid as well. Several of their DBs & safeties went on to solid NFL careers: Michael Booker, Mike Minter, Tony Veland, Eric Warfield, Jamel Williams, & Tyrone Williams were all drafted. LSU’s WRs wouldn’t have had it as easy as some people think.

I think we can all agree that Nebraska 95 and LSU 19 are the two best of their era
Great teams that were reflections of each other in terms of dominance but polar opposites in terms of how they dominated

Not accurate. They won back to back. Then in 96 they lost the big 12 championship vs Texas. Scott Frost was the qb. Then the following year, they destroyed a Peyton Manning led Tennessee, splitting the title with Michigan. Frost was also the qb. Osborne last game.

Until the playoffs expand. At that point records will start dropping with the extra game

Sorry, I should have worded it differently.
Frazier was the MVP of 3 straight NC games. He was co-MVP of the 94 Orange Bowl that the Huskers lost to FSU.
Nebraska had a 60-3 record over a 5-year period, with 4 NCG appearances, winning three. Frost was the QB of the last one.

I saw that team play. I don’t think there’s a team in the history of college football that could stay within two touchdowns of them. The amount of talent they put on the field was absurd. As good as LSU was this year they wouldn’t have a shot. Think 85 bears defense. Nobody would. The way they beat Florida in that Bowl game... four possessions into it you knew it was over.

Oh you did. You are doing what you always do - make some asinine pro-Saints/LSU, get called on it, try to walk it back, can proven wrong, dig in and then throw a tantrum.
I’m guessing that last part will come in after you read my post.
And weight =/= strength. Ask Aaron Donald and JJ Watt about that.

It’s funny to me that people think players in the mid 1990s weren’t big and fast. That wasn’t that long ago lol

Some of these LSU fans you just can’t argue with. You can slap them in the face with statistics and data to disprove their statements and they’ll say, “yeah, well, LSU is still the best.”
For comparison, LSU’s final Sagarin rating this season, (which includes all sorts of data including strength of schedule, margin of victory, and numerous other criteria) was 104.88, which is 3rd best all-time since the BCS era began (behind 2005 Texas & 2001 Miami). 1995 Nebraska had a Sagarin of 117.05.
Wistrom & Tomich would have harassed Burrow all night long. Heck, the best player on the entire defense imo was LB Terrell Farley - guy was an absolute stud who could have wrecked shite if not for his off-the-field idiocy. LSU wouldn’t have known whether to shite or wind their wristwatch, trying to deal w/ him.

It’s not just LSU fans. It’s recency bias and the fact that a lot of posters here are too young to remember teams from 15+ years ago. They assume that football players couldn’t possibly have been as big and fast back then as they are now, as if the human body has evolved in the past 20 years

Just look at the progression of world records from 1995 onward.
Either humans continued to evolve, which we both disagree on, or there is another factor.
The science behind it has been evolving.
Take a look at the fastest athletes at the combine. Only one is from pre-2000. The rest are pretty much post-2005 onward.
