6. 2003 LSU (13-1)
All-Time Season Score: 24.1386
It’s not LSU’s fault, but it split the national title with USC. The Tigers won the Coaches championship and the Trojans won the AP version. It was still an impressive team – and, according to the CFN Historical Season Formula, LSU was far more deserving.
LSU lost to Florida 19-7, but that was the only blip with two wins over Georgia – rolling the Dawgs 34-13 in the SEC Championship – and took down Oklahoma 21-14 in the Sugar Bowl.
It was a Nick Saban team with a defense that dominated everyone, allowing fewer than 20 points in 13 of the 14 games with the one outlier a 55-24 win over Arkansas. Only the Hogs and Gators came up with more than 14 points against this brick wall.
