Okay, so here’s the deal. I needed to know what year LSU won the national championship. Seemed simple enough, right? Well, I’m gonna walk you through how I actually got to the answer – because sometimes the journey is more interesting than the destination, am I right?

First thing I did, naturally, was fire up the ol’ Google machine. I typed in “LSU national championship years” – basic, I know. But gotta start somewhere!
The initial search results gave me a bunch of articles and sports websites. Lots of headlines screaming about recent wins (which I already knew) and some historical stuff. But I needed a definitive list. Just listing the years, plain and simple.
So, I tweaked my search query a bit. I tried adding words like “official” and “list” to see if I could narrow it down. Still getting a lot of recap articles and highlight reels – fun, but not what I needed.
Then I thought, “Hey, maybe Wikipedia knows!” So, I searched “LSU football Wikipedia.” Landed on their main football page. And Bingo! There was a section dedicated to national championships. It listed each year LSU won and even gave a little blurb about each season.
But, I always like to double-check. You never know what kind of random edits people make to Wikipedia. So, I decided to head over to the official LSU Athletics website. I figured if anyone knew for sure, it would be them.
Navigating their website was a little tricky. It wasn’t immediately obvious where to find a list of national championships. I tried the “history” and “about us” sections, but no luck. Then I thought, “Maybe it’s under ‘records’ or ‘awards’?”
Jackpot! Under the “records” section, there was a page dedicated to national championships across all sports. I scrolled down to football, and there it was: a list of the years LSU won the national championship, matching the info I found on Wikipedia.
So, the final answer? LSU has won the national championship in the following years: 1958, 2003, 2007, and 2019.

That’s the whole shebang! Simple question, but a little bit of digging to make sure I got the right answer. Hope that was helpful!
