ESPN recently ranked the past 36 Play-off Teams & TiGER's 2018

Group came in 3rd best.
Article didn't give best two teams but I'd assume Burrow's LSU Team was #1 and a BAMA Team at #2.
What knows you TiGER?

I would put that 2018 Tiger team against any team. I don't understand all the enamor for the 2019 LSU team. It was a great LSU team but the 2019 Clemson team had the lead and should have beaten them. The 2018 Clemson team would have beaten them by 15-20 points IMO.

LSU beat us by 17 points......

there is no "should have beaten" them about it............they were better. That sounds like Jake Bentley and his "they weren't that much better than us, if at all" statement. We didn't even have 400 yards of offense..........and they had over 600. It was ### for tat early, but by halftime they were up by double digits and pretty much kept us within arms reach away the rest of the game.
NOW.......I would definitely put our 2018 team up against ANYBODY.

Clemson could’ve had a 10 point lead near the end of the third-quarter. It was missed opportunities by Clemson, not anything LSU did.
Had we had a lead going into the fourth quarter we could’ve played very differently and tried to milk the clock and keep our defense off the field. But because of missed opportunities earlier in the game we had to start playing a different game, which ended up keeping our defense on the field and they were gassed. That was the thinnest least experienced defense we have had in 15 years, if not longer. That was the year after losing all of the Power Rangers. The starters were good, but not as good as we have had, and we had no depth.
Because the defense was completely gassed LSU totally took over in the fourth quarter and ran us off the field. That’s all people remember. Thus, people think the entire game went that way. But Clemson had its opportunities and could’ve had a cushion at the end of the third-quarter, which would’ve made the fourth-quarter very different. Not saying we would have won. But we would’ve had a chance.

I was at the game and have re-watched it......

they were better and made the plays.........we didn't. Again, it sounds bentley-esque to say we "SHOULD'VE" beaten a team that beat us by 17.

The better team doesn’t always win.

We lost to South Carolina because of stupid coaching.
If you re-watched the game, then you know we missed opportunities and we could’ve had a 10 point lead in the third quarter. That would have given us an opportunity to win. And I didn’t say we would have one. I said we would’ve had a chance. I’m saying it would’ve been a different ballgame, especially perceptually.

LSU didn't really win that game . . .

they held something fierce in that game, and it got flat out ignored. No, I don't mean the kind of borderline calls that happen in every game here and there - I mean really, really, obvious holds, that made a difference, that kept Burrow from getting pressured or sacked or rushed, and over, and over, and over again, and on at least 3-4 scoring drives and in some cases scoring plays (other times critical third downs). If nothing else, just watch OT #76 . . . it was bad. REALLY bad.
What's worse - they did it all year. Wouldn't have beaten Texas or Bama w/out doing the same. Look, Burrow was a phenomenal player, but at times people were so enamored with his talent that they just couldn't or wouldn't see that he was getting help in this way. I know what the record books say, but LSU didn't earn any national championship that year.

Where did they rank the 2018 Bama team? Because before the NC game the media was calling that Bama team the best ever. If you look at the NFL players on that team you can make the argument that they were the best ever - until the NC game was played and we beat them by 28.

Bama 2020? There shouldn't be anything ranked from 2020.
