But there wasn't any of that so they didn't which means what LSU did was more difficult, more accomplished and better.


Going undefeated playing a tougher schedule does not make you a better team, especially when the team you are championing struggled to put inferior teams away until deep into the fourth quarter. Dominance matters more than schedule difficulty when picking and choosing the GOAT team.

So AU gets Bama, LSU, TAMU, UGA and UF? Sounds right.

Well Auburn and Florida always bitch about how the expansion broke up their rivalry. Well, here you go! Here's your chance to renew.

Stop whining. We get Georgia, Auburn, LSU, and Texas A&M.

I'm not even arguing best team. My argument has always been best season. Best team is too subjective. I simply responded to your notion that beating those SEC teams would entitle you to claim best team ever. LSU did more than what you listed. Also, as far as your logic for best team, the 1908 LSU team is better than '95 Nebraska using your criteria.
quote:

1908: 10-0, SIAA Champions. The first great team in LSU football history, the Tigers posted a perfect 10-0 record in 1908 and beat their opponents by an average score of 44.3-1.1 with eight shutouts.

So again, using what you claim to be most important...

By the way, this is fricking stupid. Since when is beating up on shite teams better than beating good teams?

That's one hell of a concession speech. Well done.

tGOAT doesn't have to come back from three scores down to defeat a good - but not great - Auburn team. Florida State literally had to score in the final minute to win that game.

Win it all with that schedule and you'd be a damn deserving champion.

Not only that. Him and others with the same point of view think LSU's wins over Georgia Southern, Utah State, Vandy, Ole Miss, Miss State, Arkansas and Northwestern State are better wins than Alabama. It's ludicrous.

Indeed it was because I don't disagree. In terms of schedule, 2019 LSU is the standard bearer for best season. However, if you go back and look at the OP you responded to, I never said anything about "greatest season of all-time."

I already addressed this. The games you listed were much less than LSU accomplished so it didn't make sense. Then the argument changed when you started talking Nebraska. I would still argue that it takes more than just winning by a certain amount of points. I mean, the BCS and CFP committee neither use margin of victory. If they did LSU wouldn't have been number 1. Strength of schedule is more important.

I couldn't care less about what LSU did or didn't accomplish last year. It seems that you do, however, as you were the first one to bring them up when I mentioned "greatest team of all-time." Which is why the argument shifted to Nebraska.

This isn't correct

It's the next 2 cross divisional games from 2021 and 2022

For LSU that's Tennessee and Kentucky
