I agree. Even though Bama lost, the 9-6 game is one of my all time favorites.

As Greeny stated so eloquently:
Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Clemson were a combined SIXTY AND FOUR (60-4) this year with every opponent not named LSU.
Yet LSU beat all 5 handily, by an average of 3 touchdowns.

Well, we DID hold Clemson to 1-11 on 3rd down; and only 108 total yards and 1 TD in the second half.
We held Georgia to one touchdown. Ditto Texas A&M.
We held OU to half their yardage average....

LSU put on a clinic against OU and Clemson.

They do when they play 7 top 10 teams and 4 of the preseason top 4.
That's the point. If at least 4 of the conference teams you play have a better defense than you do, you're not even in the category of greatest of all time. LSU beat Auburn by 3 points, and Auburn's defense is better but their offense isn't very good. LSU beat Alabama by 5 and though Alabama's defense wasn't very good, it was better than LSU's. Unfortunately for Alabama their qb had been injured vs UT, and was out the week before LSU. Tagovailoa shouldn't even have been playing.

Total defense has no bearing on W-L
Nobody said it did have a bearing on W-L. Obviously not. Oklahoma has a great offense every year and a shitty defense and they win a lot of games. Winning a lot of games, though, doesn't get you in the greatest of all team categories when your defense isn't even in the top half of your conference.

LOL, there is not team in the history of CFB that could beat this team. Maybe Miami 01, but LSU just had too much firepower.
