Two SEC teams made the list:
5. 1998: Tennessee (13-0)
Biggest regular-season win: vs. Florida, 20-17.
Postseason: SEC Championship game win over Mississippi State, 24-14; Fiesta Bowl win over Tennessee, 23-16.
Narrow escape: at Syracuse, 34-33.
The skinny: In his first year as a starter, Tee Martin did what his predecessor, Peyton Manning, never could: win a national title. Martin threw 19 touchdown passes and was a rushing threat, as well, while the UT defense got major contributions from the likes of DL Shaun Ellis, LB Eric Westmoreland and DB Deon Grant. Peerless Price led the receiving corps with 61 catches.
4. 1992: Alabama (13-0)
Biggest regular-season win: at Tennessee, 17-10.
Postseason: SEC Championship Game win over Florida, 28-21; Sugar Bowl win over Miami, 34-13.
Narrow escape: at Mississippi State, 30-21.
The skinny: This Crimson Tide team is rightfully remembered for a dominant defense that included a bevy of NFL talent (Antonio Langham, George Teague, John Copeland, Eric Curry, others). But a consistent rushing attack led by Derrick Lassic and an explosive receiver/return specialist in David Palmer aren't to be overlooked.

Football didn't start until 2010. Everyone knows this.

1992: Alabama
One of the best teams ever. It would beat some of the better teams today.

That '91 Washington team was unreal.

Ok

That '95 Nebraska team was something else. What they did to UF was pretty damn impressive.

This is kinda dumb. Our narrow escape isn't the steornover? No mention of al Wilson?

Way too simplistic to only look at undefeated teams. The '96 Gators are much much better than a number of those teams.

Agreed. Alabama played them better than most and still got beat by 15. I just remember Weurffel hitting the fade route over and over and there wasn't a damned thing Bama could do about it. It was easy pickens.
