Ahh the "complete team" that gave up 29 points to Clemson while LSU gave up 25.
Those types of arguments really don't mean anything when it comes to season rankings. Smart people don't put much weight into the transitive property.

Well yes and no...I guess I can give you that one. We only finished tied for 1st in wins against Bama. Since we had the h2h against AU, you mind giving us the nod?
I'm not sure what you are trying to get at.

I'm not arguing anything, just pointing out how dumb that whole "complete team" thing looks in retrospect

About what? LSU had a great team this year but thinking they were the best college football team ever should be classified as a mental illness.

Wow, so the best team ever barely beats a crippled Bama team by 5 points.

Those numbers only have meaning to the current year. You can't really take the raw numbers from 2 years and compare them.
But if you want to use them that way, then 2018 Alabama was 36.3 in the SP+. Which is probably the highest score ever there.
And of course, LSU still didn't rank #1 in any of those this year, the so called greatest team of all time. If you had a legit case for greatest of all time, you should be much further ahead of everyone else.

I’m sure you know more than Yahoo Sports and the thousands of voters that selected LSU as THE Greatest Team of ALL Time.

Ranked wins should be what they were ranked at the end of the season
5 wins against AP top 10 teams in final rankings, 7 in the top 25.

I honestly have no idea what the "complete team" thing is about. I only watch the games themselves, I don't turn on sportscenter or any of that other stupid shite ESPN puts on, which is what I imagine you must be talking about.

Yes, I know there are thousands of LSU fans that voted for their team. I am sure most of those people don't even believe it.

Of the final Top 8 teams in 2019, LSU either beat them or beat the team that beat them. They also gave up no TD passes in the playoffs against two of the best offenses in CFB history. They are the GOAT team.

Suddenly, by magic, they're "crippled".

So the 2018 Clemson team, who finished #3 in SP+, is better than 2019 LSU?
You’re talking yourself into circles.

They were crippled before the game, some - myself included - just thought they would still be able to win even with it.
Not that hard of a concept to understand really.
