I think this really illustrates the stranglehold bama has had on the psort since saban arrived. You could come up with a dozen teams to make a top 5 from 2008-now but honestly there weren't THAT many elite teams in the 90s. You've pretty much hit on the main players. Of the big 6, UGA/AU/LSU wouldn't really have any teams make the cut considering they won a combind 0 sec titles that decade.
Prior to urban's arrival many UF fans would tell you '95 was their best team ever, it just gets overlooked because of how it ended. I would put '95 above '96. I was still a bit too young for '92 bama; everyone knows abotu the defense of course but htat offense sure left somethign to be desired. I may put 95 UF at #1. Also I'd be tempted to put another one of spurrier's teams ahead of '98 UT. Had a 1 point victory over a 4-loss syracuse, 1 posesion win over an 8-loss AU, needed one of the most miraculous plays in the history of SEC football to beat a 3-loss arkansas, escaped by 10 over a 5-loss team in the SECCG (lol), then of course was gifted a backup QB in teh title game. All that isn't to say UT sucked that year, I'm not saying that at all. What I am saying is that of all the SEC football teams that played in the decade of the 90s, I'm no so sure they are one of the 5 best.
