Next Phenomenal, Predominant, SEC Team?

2012: None.
2011:
LSU: elite schedule, defense, and special teams
It will be difficult to surpass this season.
Alabama: DEFENSE! Inarguably a top 3 defense of the BCS era. They epitomized efficiency. They had an off game against Georgia Southern and yielded 341 yards and 14 points; 121 of those yards and the 14 points came from 2 big plays. They set a standard that won't be beaten in a real conference anytime soon.
2010: None.
2009: None.
2008:
Florida: If it weren't for an uncharacteristic showing against Ole Miss, this team's lowest margin of victory could've been 10 points. It's hard to go undefeated.
That's as far back as I'll go. The SEC standings those years eliminate all but one or two teams from the discussion every year anyways.
This is not a flame thread. I understand that many of us are impassioned fans whose programs are making history/having unprecendented success or have been on the verge of winning it all. You may want to look up the meaning of the word "predominant" before you post an argument.
We'll know plenty after Week 7 (Oct. 12).
DISCUSS.

Not really uncharacteristic for Ole Miss to win....when it comes to playing Florida.

Yet you leave out the two teams that did just that in 09 and 10?
A phallus. Consume one and perish, please.

What the frick?
If you mean "who was understood to be the dominant team in the SEC by Week 7" then...
2009: Florida, duh. Alabama was still considered the challenger, Florida was the destined repeat.
2010: I think we knew when Florida and Alabama had both been defeated, LSU was struggling against the likes of McNeese State and Vanderbilt and Auburn had just rallied big and looked like a team destined to win that Auburn was the team to beat that year.
2012: Uh... Alabama? How is this a question? Yeah you had a lot of teams in the hunt, but you had two unbeatens by this point (Alabama and Florida), one of these teams was the defending national champion, the other was coming off back-to-back .500 seasons. Pretty obvious who the frontrunner was.
2008 I'll give you, after Ole Miss upset Florida and Alabama upset Georgia, we didn't know who would come out on top. Turned out to be Alabama and Florida, but neither team was the clear-cut people's favorite.

Gardevoir is a Pokemon 
For this year, I really don't think there will be a team that is just much better than everyone else. Based on the Top 10 finishes last year by SEC teams, it's hard to see one team dominating another. Sure, Alabama may easily win it again, but they will probably face some tough challenges.

This makes no sense. We always beat Florida.

2009: A 14-0 team with wins over 10 bowl teams wasn't dominant?
Posted on 6/13/13 at 7:42 am to Gardevoir
As long as Saban is there Alabama will be dominant
Posted on 6/13/13 at 8:24 am to Gardevoir
21-0

This might just be me, but the only time I can remember where I'd watch a team and no matter who the opponent was, I knew the team would win was in 2011 for both LSU and Bama. With the exception of when they played each other, I knew each team would win their games and it not be close.
I really can't remember a time besides that when I knew without a doubt a team would win every game.
