It happens. I’m not arguing it doesn’t. But notice how Clemson and Bama were both top 5 Defenses in the nation that year and made to the ship. Defense matters, and is needed to make it far. Bama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State are usually in the top 5 and have very good Defense’s. OU and ND are outside looking in because they don’t produce strong Defenses.
100%. To compete and win at the highest levels, you've got to be excellent on both sides of the ball (+ST). Hopefully, for the first time in forever, we have a team this year that will be.

LSU was #124 in total defense in 2019. Did not matter with that offense.
