Any conversation that leaves our Kentucky and Vanderbilt is just a waste of air IMO.

Dude. I said Tenessee was ahead of Georgia! What do you want from me?
I argued for Tennessee deserving to be 2nd.

It's a similar situation to UGA vs UF. UGA has the edge on LSU on MOST on-field things (more wins, better win %, more SEC titles, more bowl games, better bowl win %) while LSU has the edge in the ancillary things (weeks ranked, draft picks, all americans, etc).

What I can see giving LSU the slight edge is the national titles at 3 to 2.

UGA/LSU/UF/AU are all so, so very close to each other it could only take one big season for one to separate. For instance if we won the title last year I dont' think there's any doubt we would be the top of that group of 4.

It is 4 to 2 according to the NCAA

58, 03, 07 right? I thought that was generally agreed upon, what am I missing? If you want to count any 'ol poll that has you #1 like bama does we could claim 5, but we generally just land on 2.

It's a poll..essentially a popularity contest. SEC titles, wins, bowl games...those are things that aren't subjective and not open to debate.

Again though, you can split hairs however. I agree that LSU probably has a SLIGHT edge over UGA, simply on the back of 1 more title.

I’m not arguing for it, but if I had to guess it would be 1908.

“Point per minute” team. More points than minutes played. Certainly a great LSU team from before anyone knew what the HMS Titanic was.

I don’t care because it happened before my paw paw was born, but 1908 is recognized by every source besides Lsu

Most UGA fans would trade their history with any of the teams that have won a recent title. Living through a championship season is the goal of every fan

our entire history? Not a chance. A title is a title is a title, it doesn't matter if it was won 5 months ago or 5 years ago or 50 years ago, they still all count the same.

Not to me. I'd rather my team win 10 while I'm alive than 15 before I was born

It's cute, he thinks a title that was retroactively claimed over 40 years later is the same as winning the BCS or CFP.

so your 96 title doesn't count? Interesting take. Also we only claim 2 that we have a legit claim to, we could easily claim 3 more but we realize those are dubious so we do the right thing and just "recognize" the season but don't call them titles.

Unfortunately it counts. They beat us bad that night. Wuerful and Spurrier were magic

yeah obviously it counts. Korin was loosely trying to claim that all titles prior to 1998 are somehow less valid than ones after.

Hear that? Your 93 and 99 titles are now questionable. Sorry dude.

The difference was Spurrier FINALLY putting Wuerffel in the shotgun after he got destroyed in the first FSU game.
