That 2011 LSU team wrecked everybody they played except Bama. They would've skulldrug any other team in that NC.


According to final polls, that is a whopping 2 top 16 or 17 teams, without bama. Incredible.

Not to mention the notion of "the greatest team ever" led by one of the worst QBs in SEC history is downright laughable. That alone takes them completely out of the running.

Their defense was stacked for sure. But outside of 3 WRs the whole offensive side of the ball was straight dog shite. And those 3 WRs didn't really make a difference anyway with Jordan Jefferson at QB running the option.

01 Miami was completely loaded and stacked on both sides of the ball. And with much more depth than LSU. 2011 LSU was very good, but not in the same league as 01 Miami, or the mid 90s Nebraska, or even the mid 2000s USC teams.

So...without Bama they would have still gone to the NC, and still beaten the No. 2 team. Undefeated national champions.
