The media wants to hype up LSU's schedule but when you take a look after the season has provided some context it's nothing special. Texas is a complete fraud. Besides that they played 2 decent teams in Auburn and Florida and needed to pull away from UF's mediocre offense late and just barely handled Auburn's defense. Bama's defense isn't as good as Auburn's but their offense is far better than anything LSU has seen.
Bama and Clemson are still in a class of their own until proven otherwise. I think we'll see that again tonight.
