LSU, CFB fans rip Jordan Rodgers for saying this Alabama team could be best ever
Alabama has a chance to end the 2020 season with a perfect 13-0 record if it defeats Ohio State in Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game. If that happens, SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers believes it would be the greatest season in the sport’s long history.
LSU fans had something to say about that.
During an appearance on “SEC Nation” on SEC Network on Monday, Rodgers shared his thoughts on where this Crimson Tide team would stand among the sport’s all-time best teams.
“If Alabama wins out, this will not be the greatest Alabama team ever, this will be the greatest college football season ever,” Rodgers said on the show.
For those who may have forgotten, LSU went 15-0 and won the national championship last season, rolling to victories over Oklahoma in the Peach Bowl and Clemson in the CFP National Championship Game. Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow won the Heisman Trophy while leading one of the most dominant teams in recent memory.
Here’s some of the reaction from Twitter to Rodgers’ comments:
@JRodgers11 so you just forgot about last year? https://t.co/NSJBjGOflH

1995 Nebraska and LSU last year are the greatest.

This Bama team is not elite.
I hope they beat the Buckeyes, but they are far from elite.
They just beat up on a very weak SeC this year.

LSU last season by a mile.

Be butthurt if you want, but Bama will have done it against an all P-5 schedule and with the constraints of a pandemic, including NO spring. Jones is also on pace to break some of the marks Burrow hit. Get you some Boudreaux’s Butt Paste and you will be fine.
“… with all the constraints of a pandemic… “. Which meant that teams were at a disadvantage due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and missing players. In 2019, LSU beat 7 Top 10 teams (when played, all were ranked in the Top 25 at season’s end) and played each team at full strength. AL played teams missing many starters (LSU played AL, FL, & Ole Miss with around 60+ Scholarship players), while most teams are allowed 85 Scholarship players! Don’t be ridiculous… which is why this article was written because Rogers made such a ridiculous statement.
You mad bro!?
lol speechless ;)
Alabama is really good this year, but they are not in the category of best ever or even best Alabama team ever. LSU last year and Nebraska in ’95 are the best. Florida fans more than just about anyone are in the best position to compare those three teams because they played each of them.
Nebraska still play football?
Being that I only compare and measure Alabama against Alabama, I’ll say that if this team wins tonight it will be Sabans greatest team and arguably one of if not the greatest in Alabama’s storied history. All other nonsense is just haters being haters and Tua nutriderz who are mad because Tua couldnt get it done. Remember it took Tua and Jalen playing together to win 1…that’s right 1 Natty. Neither got it done being the lone starter so show Mac some respect will ya( yeah I said it) Roll Tide Roll!!!
Mac has my respect but this is not what the article is about. Bama has had a good year but not the best ever. Numbers don’t lie, Bammers do
What numbers? You do realize that your comparing stats from a 15 game season to a 13 game season. Smith just broke Chases single season records set last year in 2 1/2 less games. Numbers and Corndogs do lie.
Thanks for proving my point
All of you are wrong. It was 2010 Auburn! ;)
Japan is out of awadh loser state you just mad because somebody’s about to do what you did last year and then some and it only took us one year to do it. We are the king of the SEC We only let you borrow the top of the mountain last year as you can see we took it right back. Any Tokyo one year to go from being media darlings the media disaster. Good night Kitty cats. Not to mention we had 3 heisman finalists you had one last year. This team is every bit as good as Alice used team and then some but we have to win the national title 1st 4 it be relevant. Put on not saying what else you did last year wasn’t incredible it was but I think if we win this game what we do this year is even more incredible. Roll tide roll
Numbers don’t lie, Bammers do. Good year but not the best
Get your panties out of a wad corndogs aka loser state you just mad because somebody’s about to do what you did last year and then some and it only took us one year to do it. We are the king of the SEC We only let you borrow the top of the mountain last year as you can see we took it right back. And it took yal one year to go from being media darlings to media disaster. Good night Kitty cats. Not to mention we had 3 heisman finalists you had one last year. This team is every bit as good as the corndogs team last year and then some…. but we have to win the national title 1st, 4 it to be relevant. not saying what you did last year wasn’t incredible it was but I think if we win this game what we do this year is even more incredible. Roll tide roll.
Take the corn dog out your azz and eat it
Yal have the best team so far in the cfp, but if we win we will overtake yal. With ease. Beside that we are the most dominating program in sec and in ncaa history. Even if you don’t count every natl’ title….17. We will still have 12 hopefully 13 after tonight. Nobody is even close to that. We went undefeated in 2009 in The bcs era. Its okay corndogs, don’t let it hurt your feelings too much. It our turn once a gain.
Is that a banjo playing in the background? Maybe 2.
When your coach speaks in a bizarre patois that people in 49 other states struggle to understand, you probably shouldn’t make banjo jokes.
This could be a long time debate. Well, at least until next season when that champ is declared the greatest team ever.
One thing is certain. BAMA won’t lose 5 games next year to finish.500 lsWHO?
Who cares. You either win the title or you don’t. Idiot.
I can’t wait to see what the NCAA does to LSU…
I hear they’ve sent their best compliance official, Ed Orgeron, to dismantle the program.
The idea that some championships are more championshippy then others is REALLY stupid. That some LSU fans desperately need to believe this is pretty weird.
Are you reading all the comments? Some Bama fans are doing the same.
LSU fans have spent all year long doing this all over the internet.
Which is the point of the actual article, full of twitter reactions full of pictures of Saint Joseph of Burrow.
Also, it doesn’t make it any less dumb when Alabama fans do it. Gumps aren’t exactly the gold standard by which fanbases are judged. Still light years ahead of swamp trash though.
I was appreciating the honesty until the end but oh well. I’m of the mind that internet warriors would never actually say their troll remarks out loud.
Maybe it is like that with LSU fans “all over the internet” but it’s not really like that here on SDS…barring the infinitely entertaining and ever uplifting – although usually somewhat unrealistic – Fantasyfootballgod’s comments of course.
I agree it’s kind of a dumb comparison and that both sides look ridiculuous when taking it seriously. Enter Fantasyfootballgod where are you man?
I love it!!! All these haters STILL talking. You mad fellas? My favorite part of this season was COMPLETELY ERASING everything LSWHO did last year. LSU had a great offense. They surprised everyone bc they usually lose 3 games a year. BAMA surprises NO ONE. Everyone plays their best Vs us. LSU didn’t win the awards we won this year. Not even close. LSU didn’t play an ALL-SEC schedule. They played at least 3-4 cupcake non-conference games. Can’t argue the tougher schedule. period. I love it. Roll Tide.
Wow you’re really kinda a nutjob dont’cha think?
I’ve done this three times already and I’ll do it once more:
Bama opponents win percentage this year (end of season): .578 (Bama opponents this year went 78-57)
LSU opponents win percentage last year (end of season): .600 (LSU’s opponents last year went 117-78)
Bama opponents this year that were ranked (at the time of the game – end of season): 6-5, or percentages: .461 – .385 (Auburn didn’t finish ranked)
LSU opponents last year that were ranked (at the time of the game – end of season): 7-7, or percentages: .467 – .467 (all 7 were ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game and all 7 finished ranked)
So, while it isn’t a large gap, LSU played a harder schedule than Bama.
Not exactly.. Playing a all conference schedule actually took away some of the wins the mid to lower tier teams in the conference would have gotten like they did last year…
For example if LSU played 2 or 3 cupcakes out of conference this past year you would have looked better with those wins…
It is indeed a strange world when folks get ticked off because someone has offered an opinion, that they choose to disagree with, about what might be the best college football team ever.
You may as well argue over what team has had the prettiest uniforms ever. Cause, big news flash here, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
This whole conversation is pretty stupid. And I have contributed to it, I confess. There is no answer and you aren’t going to convince anyone with your arguments.
Why don’t we just celebrate two really good teams who will never play each other to decide the question.
I pulled for Bama in the ship just as I know there were Bama fans pulling for LSU last year. 2 exceptional teams with exceptional seasons
Waitin for Arky fan to pipe in with…Naw, you all wrong, it was that 1964 Hog team (We lost our bowl game, Arky beat Nebraska 10-7 but it was the last year the championship was decided before a bowl game). Or how about that National Championship season at UCF (yeah, I know about that)
Come on. Bama’s defense couldn’t stop Joe Burrow last year. They wouldn’t have this year either. LSU’s team last year was better than Bama this year. Every year we hear this “greatest of all time” crap. They were saying the same about Bama in 2018 going into the SECCG and playoffs. Rat poison. Lol.
