LSU appeared to be the best team in college football in 2019. They ran through their schedule to a 15-0 record, culminating with a 17-point victory over Clemson to win the National Championship.
But who gave them their toughest game? It would have to be the Auburn Tigers who held the LSU Tigers to their season low in points and only a 3-point victory in Baton Rouge. I’m sorry, it’s just too tough to call based on that one game on the field. I think we’ll have to go through My Team is Better Than Your Team once more to see who really deserves to be called the greatest team in all the land.
Ok, WOW! Are you kidding me? After using math and results from dozens of games, it appears that not only did Auburn transitively beat LSU, they also won EVERY SINGLE BOWL GAME for the fourth year in a row. Clear out some space in the trophy room. Better yet, build a new one.
Only one bowl took more than four levels of transitivity, and most just took two levels. Five were direct transitive wins. That’s hard to argue with given all the results right there in front of us. So, once again, your 2019-20 Transitive National Champions and Winners of All Bowls: the Auburn Tigers.

Is this how you avoid addressing the dumpster fire that was the Outback Bowl?
dUmpSTer fIRe
You cut me to the core. Way to continue avoiding the subject.
What exactly was the subject?
How you have avoided addressing the outcome of the outback bowl. I was legitimately interested to see your positive takeaways from the game. I don’t like Gus. I haven’t since he held the university hostage for THAT pay raise. But I only agree with about 50% of the criticism levied against him (example: the criticism involving gatewood was ridiculous and gatewood’s talent somehow was elevated to God like levels). Even though I generally don’t like what Gus does I at least entertain the opinions of the, “sunshine pumpers.” While I don’t always agree with you, I at least respect your opinion. Seeing no analysis of the game on your website only reinforces that we were in fact comprehensively outplayed and outcoached.
I actually did address the game right in this post! Did you not see it?
*sigh* yeah I saw your little joke about losing. If you don’t want to actually talk about the game that’s fine. Just say it instead of playing dumb. Have a good night.
I didn’t know I was supposed to talk about the game more than I already have, in a post about Auburn winning every bowl game transitively. I don’t believe you’ve gotten this.
This is a little late, but it sounds like the dude is a fan of yours and is asking if you’ll do a review of the bowl (in general, not just in this post). Instead you’re being a shortsighted dick..
Well you’re wrong, so…
Wrong how?
You just… are.
Ok babe.
