2010 is over the 2013 team because had a tougher schedule and with 6 SEC teams with a bye before playing them.

2013 would have had another loss if Miss State's QB had not been hurt when Bama played them.

One thing I would like to know, is how would the 2011 Bama Defense do against 05 USC, 08 Oklahoma, 09 Texas, 11 Oklahoma state, 2011 USC of late season, and 2013 auburn and Baylor. Anyone have an opinion on this?

I don't know, that's a lot of teams. How about just one? 2011 Bama D would cause problems for the best of 'em but that's based on shutting down everyone they met other than the 2011 LSU offense in BDS.

They pretty much shutdown the LSU office in that game as well, just 6 points in regulation and 3 in OT...when Donte Hightower was asked which team had the best offense that he faced that year, he said, "Georgia Southern" (21 points and over 300 yards rushing running the triple option)...

The only good offense Alabama played was Arkansas. Alabama's pass defense never really got truly tested in 2011. The defense looked incredible, was consistent, and was legit; however, you must keep competition in mind.

Agreed. 2009 found a way even if not as talented across the board.

They never played a team that year that was top to bottom more talented. I would say the 09 team was the best had the Tennessee game not been so close and if they had blown texas away with colt McCoy. But since those things did not happen, I give the edge to 2011

2009 Florida at every position was supposed to be better and they blew them out. They shut down colt twice when they got the ball within the 20s. That team found a way to win; they were gamers. They could have blown Texas out if they hadn't taken the pedal off the gas after colt got hurt.
