Before the confetti even started falling on Monday night in New Orleans, there was already a debate about whether or not the 2019 LSU Tigers were the greatest team in college football history.
After all, this is a team that cruised through the SEC Championship game and the College Football Playoffs to a national title.
There’s always the issue of recency bias, but I feel confident that the 2019 Tigers are, in fact, the best team in college football history.
And there’s a stat that proves it.
Amazing stat: LSU is the first team to beat the top four teams in the preseason AP poll (Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Oklahoma).
