LSU football claiming 2019 team as best in college football history

LSU football in 2019 was one of the greatest spectacles in college football history.  

The 2019 LSU football team is claiming themselves as the ‘best team ever.’

With countless award winners, draft picks and a National Championship to boot, the celebration has not stopped since January. On the team’s official Twitter page, the festivities are still going.

Led by quarterback Joe Burrow, the Tigers enjoyed their best season in program history. Burrow broke all sorts of NCAA and LSU single-season records with more than 5,600 yards passing, 60 touchdowns through the air and five more on the ground for a total of 65 en route to a Heisman Trophy and every other major quarterback award.

It is hard to dispute their claim for the best team ever. For starters, LSU beat every ranked team it played for a record of 7-0. Not only were all these teams ranked, but they were all in the top 10 at the time of their matchup with the Tigers. The resume speaks for itself.

The 2019 LSU football team has a case as the best college football team of all time.

While Burrow sure was great, there were countless other stars that made names for themselves in their own right. Four other players were named All-Americans and 14 players not named Burrow were All-SEC selections. The rest of the core was just as important as Burrow’s excellence.

Teams can only go so far as their head coach takes them. This is where the legendary Ed Orgeron steps in. Orgeron was looked at as an outcast after spending time at both Ole Miss and USC but finally found his footing down in the Bayou to become one of the brightest personas in the sport. Orgeron’s coaching ability as a leader of men and heavy Cajun accent made the Tigers one of the most fun teams to watch all year long.

Looking at all of these factors including signature wins against top-flight programs like Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson, LSU clearly has a case for the best team ever. The celebration is warranted and should go on until someone else proves otherwise.
