What would a DBU list be without LSU?

Not only are the Tigers amongst the best in SEC football, but thanks to their amazing resume, they’re also able to go head to head with anyone in the country when it comes to the controversial argument.

From Tyrann Mathieu and Eric Reid to Grant Delpt and Jamal Adams, LSU has produced some of the most athletic specimens that mankind has known. And I’m being very literal here.

Even though the days of Peterson striking the Heisman pose have come and gone, the Tigers haven’t felt the need to look back too much. The unlimited supply of star power just continues to haunt opposing SEC offenses.
