I'm a bit surprised really that some (not here) view this LSU team as some kind of awesome one of a kind thing.  I'm not sure they are the best team of the last ten.  Impossible to know of course, but I felt they are a very very good team but not as dominating as some I've seen out there.

If you said they are among the top 10% of all champions, I'd lean to agreeing.

wish the Buckeyes would have had a shot at LSU

LSU very well may have defeated the Bucks, but I'd guess the game would have been close.

closer than 42-25

Yeah, I thought all year OSU was the most complete team.  But defending Burrow was not something most could manage.

Chase young may have helped manage and I think perhaps Justin Fields would have been better trying to keep up

Well it's not often a team scores 48+ points per game and wins the national championship.  Plus, thanks to the playoff and the SECCG opponent, you could argue no one ended a season better, so they finished with an uptick.
.
2013 FSU had better scoring and scoring prevention numbers.  They destroyed everyone until Auburn in the NCG.  I'd take them over '19 LSU.  But the juiciest matchup of '19 LSU vs a champion from the past 10 years would definitely be 2011 Alabama.  Perhaps the best pass defense of all time AND they didn't allow rushing yards.  It would just be fun to watch.
.
8-team tournament (based on season instead of seedings):
19 LSU (Burrow) vs 12 Alabama (Lacy/Yeldon) winner
vs
16 Clemson (Watson) vs 15 Alabama (Henry) winner
.
17 Alabama (Hurts/Tua) vs 14 Ohio St (Elliott)
vs
18 Clemson (Lawrence) vs 13 FSU (Winston)
