Too many of them to keep track of, I’m sure it’s easier to recognize the best teams of certain universities when they have less than five to choose from but that’s a poor ppl problem

I will say that big 12ish team you guys fielded that had to out score everyone was very exciting tho. If they had a dominant defense they’d be something to write home about

that 1992 team was REALLY GOOD

The offense was pedestrian but Jay Barker always found a way to score just enough. The defense is one of the few I've ever seen play that could literally take over a game and win it on their own.

Well, 2020 Bama is the greatest team of the playoff era according to ESPN.

Many people thought LSU fans would begin to recover when Nick Saban retired. But at this point it is clear the damage is permanent.

2020 Alabama is definitely up there. 2nd best team I’ve ever seen.

We have the best team, historically, in every era of football. It's hard to compare, and obviously impossible for fans of lesser teams to comprehend.

2012 or 2020 Alabama are probably the best ever.

The 2017 team fully healthy with Tua at QB would have been nasty.

The 2018 team was dominant until the final game.

2016 Alabama with a game manager at QB would have been unbeatable.

Rather not. Hard to get such a smell out of the walls and floors.

This. Barker never seemed to turn the ball over and had a solid run game. Its too bad that team doesn't really get the recognition they deserve. Solid all around.

What LSU poster is the most obsessed with Alabama?

So many to choose from.

The fact that Bama won a title with the '92 version of Barker speaks to how great the defense and running game was.

It does (by far) and it’s a real season, not an opt-out Covid season.
