One could make a strong argument for it...
-First undefeated regular season in program's history.
-SEC Champions with blowout of UGA in the dome.
-Defeated BCS and Big East Champions on the road.
-Defeated Pac-12 Champion/Rose Bowl Champion on neutral field
-Blowout win over a top 5 Arkansas.
-Most talented secondary in the country.
I could go on and on... is this consensus among LSU fans?

They were the only team to beat the great 2011 BCSNC Bama team.. So id say yes... herp

I think it depends on how you quantify it. If you value each position equally, then I think yes. Otherwise, our 2006 and 2007 teams were better because of the superior quarterback play.
I do think that this was the best Alabama team in their school history.

Regular season yes, but since we didn't finish the deal, no.

Yes, they were "the most talented team" to ever be steamrolled in the championship......

Best Ive seen, Im 44. Ended poorly but still a dynamite season. Im not surprised Bama won but I am surprised that Miles just let the ship sink wihtout even trying to bail it out. It was a strange night.
While we're at it, I will say that I think Bama's Defense as a whole is the best D ever in NCAA.

Best LSU team ever and it is not even close.

No. The best team in history doesn't lose and get dominated in the title game. They were very good but no.

Yes and no. For the "team" to be able to overcome such a weakness at the qb position as LSU dealt with the entire season and produce the results they did is amazing. From a top to bottom analysis of the whole team, I say yes. On the other hand, it is hard to consider a team the greatest when they are so weak at the primary position on the field. From that standpoint, I would say no. With all that said, I don't think the question can be truly answered.

Yes. LSU has never dominated the schedule like they did, and with below average QB play.
We still had a great season. We won the SEC. It's hard to beat a great team twice.
I am very much looking forward to the next few years now that Jefferson is gone.

The way they blew teams out all year, seemingly not having any "off" games I thought they may be the best LSU team ever, but Im not even positive if this years D is better than '03s and this offense is a tragedy so...i dunno
Posted on 1/12/12 at 9:27 am to lowspark12
No, they just played way over their heads until the last game caught up with them.
Posted on 1/12/12 at 9:27 am to lowspark12
nope. offense not good enough to rank that.

Ever ? Still have to go with 1958.

Ummmmm... i could make a strong arguement on that statement.

This LSU team was very good! LSU had a great season but LSUs 2003 team was pretty damn good too. Its hard to say
Posted on 1/12/12 at 10:23 am to lowspark12
Yes. This LSU team accomplished more than any other team in school history, possibly BCS history. 8-1 against top 25 teams is unheard of.
We beat the BCS national champion, Orange bowl winner and Rose bowl winner. Has that ever happened?

not close to the truth, first one in decades tho
The best team in school history would always have been a matter of opinion up for debate if they won. I don't think they would have been... but they would have had the most distinguished resume of any LSU team in school history
