The state of Texas might get one, thanks to UM.

Judging by their lack of defense in the semis, I doubt either one of these teams left will be in the conversation for 'best-of-the-playoff-era' team.

Judging by the lack of a conference title for one of them, that was pretty obvious on the TCU side. 

If Georgia wins, it could at least make a noise about it. But it has two disadvantages. The first is that the defense doesn’t seem as good as it was last year. The second is that they run a pass first offense without an unbelievable quarterback. Would be hard to hit that level of notoriety considering those facts.

To get to 15-0 is a thing, but I fully agree with the above.  I remember when teams played only ten games plus one.

Nope, not even close, in my view.  I was mightily impressed with LSU and the VY Texas team and USC they played.  I hate to imagine what Joe Burrow would do to that Dawg "defense" ...

I think it was '95 Nebraska that takes my all time vote.

Nobody would have this year's (potentially) undefeated UGA team rated over last year's impressive, albeit 1-loss Dawg squad?

2. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (2020)

Wins over Top 25 teams: 6

After the Crimson Tide lost the No. 5 overall pick in the NFL draft and two other first-round weapons in addition to others, skepticism dominated the preseason on just how good Alabama's 2020 team could be. Those questions were answered quickly by quarterback Mac Jones and Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith, who ripped apart the SEC en route to an unbeaten season with relative ease. Alabama averaged 48.5 points per game — the most in the Nick Saban era — and shattered numerous program records. The defense underachieved by program standards, but it still finished No. 13 nationally in scoring and saw more possessions than usual given the other side of the ball's quick-strike ability. Given the circumstances that season with constant COVID worries and a 10-game SEC schedule without a breather, Saban called it his most rewarding campaign.


1. LSU TIGERS (2019)

Wins over Top 25 teams: 7

Seven first-half touchdown passes in a playoff game? That's a record from Joe Burrow that will never be broken. This LSU team was special. Fueled by perhaps the most notable quarterback performance this century, LSU's magical unbeaten run to a national title during the 2019 season featured an unprecedented seven wins over top-10 teams (at the time of game). The run also included record-setting numbers from Burrow, the runaway Heisman Trophy winner (60 touchdown passes). The Tigers won 12 games by double digits and led college football in scoring at 48.4 points per game. LSU would go on to tie the NFL Draft record for a single school during a seven-round draft with 14 selections, including five first-rounders, before Georgia topped that mark last spring.
