Do you not remember the quality of wins LSU had last year? Do you not remember how many top-ranked opponents that LSU had effortlessly demolished? Unless Alabama goes up 70-7 through the playoffs, as good as they are (and they are good), Alabama doesn't hold a candle to LSU's achievements in 2019.

Alabama's current team is going to be in the top-five or the top-ten, they that good without a doubt, but I do not see how they could even compete for the title of "best ever" with LSU's team in 2019. Alabama, for this year, has not played nearly on-par to the same quality of opponents that LSU had throughout last year. Florida and Texas A&M were the closest that Alabama had to top-ranked opponents so far, and strength-of-schedule/quality-of-wins definitely matter as a metric.

But for what it's worth, I still do think it's going to DeVonta Smith.

Maybe, but I get the sense that the fact there's competition for the award among teammates suggest they could dilute each others' chances *just* enough to lend it to Kyle Trask, after all. Trask's chances to win the Heisman probably diminished after the LSU-Florida game, though.
