Of course they are. They just took the spot from last year’s champion, who took it from the previous year’s champion who, oddly enough, took it from the previous year’s champion, who just happen to take it from the previous year’s champion.Gives an argument for this LSU team being the best ever.

Just ask Mr. Bookmark. He is the LSU rep that has already anointed them as the G.O.A.T.Gives an argument for this LSU team being the best ever. What'cha think?
Yes I am. Every year, this same discussion happens, about the current champion possibly being the best ever. It happens every, single, year.We’re discussing best ever and your not...

The 95 Huskers also beat quite a few top 10 teams, and we dominated them, not many close games to be seen that year. A little research would provide an answer.
I think people today see oh, they beat K state. Well today KSU is an avg program so not a big win. Well in 95 KSU was a tough out.
Thank you. Everyone has a new girlfriend hard on for LSU this morning.Why does someone always try to claim the most recent National Champion as the greatest ever?
This was a great LSU team, but 95' Nebraska's statistical dominance was staggering. Outscored opponents 53.2 to 14.5. Beat 4 Top 10 teams by and average of 30.75 ppg. Averaged 400 yards rushing per game while only giving up 78. Gave up zero sacks all season, and on and on.
So, so spot on. I realize this "best ever" debate is one that we Nebraskans hold near and dear, but it is nothing but clickbait at its finest. I think its taught at journalism school: "lesson one: post story asking whether team X is best ever, get 150,000 clicks from Nebraska fans".Of course they are. They just took the spot from last year’s champion, who took it from the previous year’s champion who, oddly enough, took it from the previous year’s champion, who just happen to take it from the previous year’s champion.

They beat 4 teams in the top 10, 2,5,7 and 9 closest game was Washington St 35-21 and I believe Washington St scored near the end of the game..
And? 1995 Nebraska also beat 4 teams in the top 10. 2 7 8 and 10. Closest game was 44-21 against Colorado in Boulder. Colorado didn't score at the end of the game because Nebraska's backups wouldn't let them.
Also, 1971 Nebraska beat the teams that finished #2 #3 and #4 by a combined score of 104-44. Beating top ranked teams soundly matters, but if it was THAT important 1971 Nebraska would be seen as a better team than 1995 Nebraska, and it's not.
Not according to a few on here. Some say 95 NU would get waxed by 30 or 45 points by almighty LSU. My guess is these select few have been watching football for a year or two.95 Huskers would beat them by 10
Now I want to see how the 95 Husker teams opponents faired in their bowl games and how they finished their seasons out. Of course we see how LSUs opponents did, now let’s see how the 95 Husker opponents did at seasons end?
now I don’t want to hear about the playoffs and the extra games played. You can not count that against the older teams. It’s not their fault they didn’t have the playoffs then. And IF they did, we all know the 95 Husker team would have beaten the 4th ranked team they’d play in the first round and of course won their last game in the National Title game. That’s just 2 extra Top 10 teams LSU faced and the 95 Husker team did get the same opportunity. That would give the 95 Husker team an extra Top 10 win not previously mentioned.
They deserve to be in the conversation and if you go by stats, I don't know how you say Burrow didn't just turn in the best single season of college QB play ever.
His numbers were unreal and then some. Not only did he break Colt Brennan's TD record, he did it while throwing only 6 INT all year. That's insane. I don't know if I have ever seen a college QB playing at a higher level than what I saw from him in these playoff games.
no doubt, LSU and Joe Burrow did great. LSU did everything they had to and beat everyone put in front of them. But we have seen this every time a new National Title winner comes along (USC, Texas that one year with Vince Young, Bama, Clemson and now LSU). The media and those guys are trying so hard to unseat the 95 Huskers they are quick to name the newest National Title winner the next and newest Best Team Ever. LSU deserves their mention but so does the 95 Huskers.
I think burrow is a bit better then the gators qb was, but the 95 Huskers were a machineNot according to a few on here. Some say 95 NU would get waxed by 30 or 45 points by almighty LSU. My guess is these select few have been watching football for a year or two.
I don’t think it would be that close.95 Huskers would beat them by 10
I would say it is much harder to run the table, but it is probably easier to win a National Championship, because you now get a free loss. Look at all the one loss champions since moving to the playoffs. Urban and Saban both have National Championships they wouldn’t have even got to play for in the past. Nebraska would have loved one of those in 82 or 99.
doesn't prove who is better, but it is significantly more difficult to win a national title today than it was in the past
LSU had to win an additional 2 games against top 5 opponents at the end of their regular season as opposed to national champions prior to conf championship games and the playoff

And so does the 71 Huskers..
OWH trolling it's own fans. Classic.Gives an argument for this LSU team being the best ever. What'cha think?
This is important too when you consider the pressure of winning. In 1995, one loss at any time during the season likely would derail your championship hopes. Sure, one loss teams did sometimes win the national championship back then, but things had to play out just right. As an example look at 1993 Florida State. When they lost to Notre Dame, their championship hopes seemed to be done. They had to rely on Notre Dame unexpectedly getting upset by Boston College for them to be back to playing for the championship. For the most part, you pretty much had to go into every week feeling like you had to win to keep your championship hopes alive.I would say it is much harder to run the table, but it is probably easier to win a National Championship, because you now get a free loss.
