Defense isn't good enough for greatest ever...is what it is. Doesn't mean you aren't a great team this year, but you wouldn't be considered the best ever by anyone that isn't wearing LSU blinders

I wouldnt consider this team the greatest team ever however they will have surpassed some historic numbers in competition beaten as far as rankings if they win the championship. Trask is clearly better than Franks so its pointless to continue calling him your backup quarterback.
Also, the defense only gave up 24 points to Vandy.

They’re really not even in the GOAT discussion, but they’re still a very good team on offense. In context, They’re probably only relatively weaker going into the playoffs then the Alabama teams of the past decades ,versus the two Auburn teams that were SEC champs and the 2017 Georgia SEC champs where I think they’re better then.

There’s a pretty good chance they could be an underdog vs. Clemson or OSU in a championship game, and I don’t think it would be a stunning upset if they lost to Oklahoma (whom also has a very good offense)

What are you basing this claim off of and which teams are you referring to?

Agreed. OU beats LSU 87 to 3 and Clemson wins it all. Book it. Hurts wins the heisman after this game.

Or win a one point game against UNC.

Clemson was a decent play call away from losing to UNC and missing the playoff.

The last national champion that didn't have a WTF game or a truly lackluster performance that season was the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Couldn’t be further from the truth. Great teams find a way to win no matter what.

Regardless of how LSU does this year, they don’t compare to last years 15-0 Clemson team since that team beat the “Greatest team ever” in the NC.
Winning a NC ain’t worth squat unless you beat Bama in the NC to earn it...just means more.

RB1 - CEH - 1st team All-SEC RB, 1290 yards(6.55 ypc) with conference leading 16 TDs, also has 50 recs 399 yards 1 TD

WR1 - Chase - 73 recs 1498 yards 18 TDs(ties SEC record) Biletnikoff winner
WR2 - Jefferson - 88 recs 1208 yards 14 TDs
WR3 - Marshall - 10 TDs, missed 3 games this season

Defense: SEC rankings
Ranked 1st in INTs and passes defended
Ranked 2nd in Sacks
Ranked 3rd in TFLs
Ranked 2nd in turnover margin
Ranked 2nd in third down conversions

5 players make All-SEC team including Delpit(Thorpe winner) and Stingley(top rated corner by PFF)

Coaching: Joe Brady(Broyles award winner), Ed Orgeron(Coach of the Year)

Fair point; LSU right now has an elite offense, and talent on defense.

2011 LSU had an elite defense, with an offense that I'd say was less than this year's defense. That bit us in the rematch (a lot more than people remember- LSU held Bama to a bunch of FGs in that game. If LSU could have moved and scored, they still probably win).

It's tough to say anyone is the GOAT team. And to be honest, I don't think you need to be the GOAT to win in any matchup.

This LSU vs either 2011 LSU or Bama team, I say this one wins. The defense is good enough to hold for a half, and the offense is good enough to grab the lead and get to a safe margin. That's been the formula this season, and it's worked against some damn good teams. Could someone run all over them? Maybe, in the second half- but if you're up 2-3 scores you don't mind that too much.

The defending champs doesn't owe Mac Brown a huge arse bonus... but actually, they do. Mac takes Clemson to OT and your season takes a dive. Instead, he opted to go for the win and Dabo owes him big time.
