I think 2018 Clemson & 2019 LSU teams should be higher......

than 2020 Bama.
I can't speak to the 1971 cornhuskers (b/c I hadn't been born yet), but '01 Canes, '13 FSU, & '95 cornhuskers were legit.

Why?
2020 Bama beat 4 ranked teams in the regular season, 2018 Clemson beat 1.
The only reason why last year's Bama team didn't get more recognition is because it was a COVID year with fewer games

2020 bama beat 2 teams in regular season that finished ranked: TAMU & UGA......they beat ranked FLorida in SECCG
2018 Clemson beat 2 teams in regular season that finished ranked: Cuse & TAMU
rankings aside BOTH teams dominated their opponents. The "close games" that Clemson played @TAMU & Syracuse, Trevor Lawrence had either not taken over at QB OR he got injured early.
I think BOTH offenses were similar when fully funded, but I think Clemson's Defense gives them the edge over the '20 Bama team.

I would take Deshaun Watson and our 2016 team over Georgia's 2021 team any day.

#6 and #7 should be #1-2 ... 15-0 should mean more

Especially in the CFP era where you don’t coast through a regular season and find yourself anointed as the #1 team after a bowl win in a made up national championship.

Even though #7 only played 1 ranked team in their first 13 games?

I'm hoping you're not counting a 6-5 Auburn team........

as a "ranked" win. There were a total of FOUR ranked SEC teams ranked at the end of 2020: Florida, UGA, Bama, & Texas A&M.
as for Clemson, they beat Syracuse and @Texas A&M that finished ranked, both close games and both w/o TL16 at QB for most of the games.

Jesus, we are complaining about being called the 7th best national champion in the last 54 years?
Look at 1-6 and tell us who we should be higher than.

Except you don't make that argument because you don't even bother naming "a few" of the teams they were better than

I didn't share the article because I thought it was wrong, I shared it because I thought it was interesting, relevant, and current. It's subjective. I'm not sure why you are coming in so hot on this?

Should be higher than 2020 Bammer and 2013 FSU.

FSU’s roster was INCREDIBLE, but 2018 Clemson woulda got up big and not let FSU come back.

but I know for a fact that there was cheating in Georgia, it is the only logical reason why something I do not like happened.

I won't dispute #1, after that it's subjective imo. That Canes team was DOMINANT.

I agree, but talking-head logic is based on coot logic.
When Clemson beat "The Best Team Ever", it only proved "The Best Team Ever" wasn't the "Best Team Ever", only saban can beat the "Best Team Ever."
Giving the 'Best coach ever' his most embarrassing loss ever, with his best roster ever, doesn't count.

It all depends on whose list you are looking at, apparently.

I saw a different one that had
1) 2001 Miami 2) 2019 LSU 3) 2018 Clemson
That is more in line with most peoples thinking, I think. (Therefore, I Am.)

Everybody just needs to let the POUND PUPPIES enjoy the time in the sun> One of the best defensive players had to transfer from Clemson.I mean come on! They did keep everybody out of jail this year - as far as I know! It only took forty plus years to do it! Last but not least- 90-95% of us- will not be around to see them do it again!
