Point is, sometimes something just passes the eye test. That 01 team did.

That’s not taking anything away from LSU. Because they can never play each other always makes these kind of arguments fun and pointless.

While we’re at it, how about The Generals 1938 team???

Honestly I don’t think there’s an argument. Yeah there was a bunch of NFL talent on that 01 Miami team so they’re probably the most TALENTED team of all time but their COLLEGE resume doesn’t compete with this LSU team. They dominated the best conference in college football and blew out both teams in the playoff. Best college ball team of all time

They needed an 80 yard fumble recovery for a td to beat bc that year. Otherwise yeah, they were dominant.

Would have loved to have had the opportunity to play them that year

Now that this year has ended in total and looking at some of the best teams and stories from this year... i think building and maintaining a culture/locker room is most important trait for a head coach. Ed Orgeron was horrible as a Hc before, but damn he’s got the entire state hanging on every word of his and team will go full kamikaze mode for him. Same thing for Dabo, I don’t think he’s some schematic genius but he demands a certain culture, and his players eat it up. Hell even PJ Fleck, Minnesota had no business winning 10 games and beating Auburn, Penn state, almost beating Wisconsin etc. but his players love him and would run through a wall for him.

The energy/culture inside & around our program got so bad at the end of butch and the Botched search that it was like an anchor (literally & figuratively Bc of losses to vandy) weighing us down. I mean we were literally having discussions if our roster was worse than Vanderbilt or if our OL was better than Charlotte. It took longer than we wanted and it wasn’t always pretty by any means... and quite frankly i have no Fn idea how we won some games like Indiana, Kentucky, miss state lol.... but i give Pruitt and Fulmer major major props for finding a way to power wash all that filth off this program and now have us looking like we belong again. Hopefully our fan base and players rally around them just like those other teams have done.

They beat VA tech by 2. LSU’s only trip up game was against a damn solid auburn team

I know I'm a homer, but if Casey was clicking with Donte, Witten and "The Future" Washington, Vols had a damn good chance to bust their a$$. We will never know, but that's the biggest "What if" in my lifetime. I still blame Rohan's Mom and that voodoo curse she put on UT, in the 2nd half of that SEC Championship game

The beginning of the backup QB curse. That was still a great UT team.

Casey was a game manager who occasionally made some big throw. If we have a legit QB in that era, we probably have two titles. At least one.

Imo, Casey "Iceman" Clausen is an all-time top 5 UT quarterback. Probably, #5 behind Peyton, Heath, Tee and Dobbs. Of course, I'm not quite 50 and I'm starting at Jimmy Streater (loved him as a kid), so from about '79. Oh hell, I almost 4got about TRob, still have Casey in my top 5, tho. Add Andy Kelly and we have my top 7
