15-0 for Spurrier

This is tiring; for the last time, Spurrier couldn't go undefeated or win more than 1 national title in a less competitive SEC. What makes you think he'd do better at Alabama when he loses to the likes of 2010 Kentucky, 2011 Auburn, and 2013 Tennessee with his most accomplished teams?

The SEC was less competitive; college football at large was way more competitive. UF had to contend w/ Bowden's FSU teams which, it should go w/o saying, were elite.

Also, these days, if you win the SEC you are pretty much guaranteed a shot at the title (and sometimes even when you don't win your own damn division). Spurrier won the SEC seven times but only played for the title twice. He didn't have the luxury of the auto bid to the BCSNCG.
