If LSU wants to claim the 2019 LSU Tigers as the best national champs of all time it is only fair to claim the 2007 LSU Tigers as the worst national champs of all-time - or at LEAST the modern era.

Only 15-0 team in SEC History

Only 2 loss national champion in modern SEC History



Facts is facts

That team was walking wounded for long stretches but showed it was pretty good when healthy. Still far from GOAT status, but the best team that season and that is all that matters. An insane season overall. Again wouldn't most progams love to have a National Championship of any kind.

Don't know what you call "modern", but BAMA proudly claims an NC for 1941 despite suffering shut-out loses to Vandy and MooState and finishing #20 in the AP poll. That's within my lifetime, so I'd call it modern.

They're in the conversation but I'd put money on that team beating 2010 Auburn. Especially considering how healthy we were at NCG time vs during the season

Very different paths but the only 2 words that matter describe both teams: NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

Worst or least deserving? That team had so much God damned talent it wasn’t even funny. That team was loaded and I have no idea how the frick that team lost two games, but that season (in addition to the royal fricking over in 2006) is a big reason I dislike auburn.

Both the '07 and '19 trophies say NATIONAL CHAMPION, right?

And to think some national champions weren't good enough to win the conference or even their division.

Sort of like Bama...only SEC West team not to win it's own division and still get a mulligan to play for the national championship.

Still better than any other football team in 07. Maybe Bama can claim their 07 team to be the best team to ever lose to ULM?

I get your argument, but best and worst is not simply based on record.

Also, please remove the bold part of your quote, Mr. 1941.
