@UTEP, I disagree as the USC National Title team that was stripped of their title was a beast on defense, but way better than LSU on offense. I actually think Alabama is better than LSU, they just missed a few field goals. They won that game everywhere but the scoreboard, but that's where it matters, eh? Both of those teams are GREAT college football teams though...just don't know if they are the best in the BCS era, but they would both be up there.
