Hat tip to VADawg for the topic idea. Below is a list of some of the better teams that we beat in the last 15 seasons. Who would yall give the nod to?
2001 Tennessee
Went 11-2 and finished ranked 8th. Was one half of football away from playing for the national title. Finished season ranked 4th.
2005 LSU
Went 11-2 and were 3rd going into the SECCG. Ended the season with a 37 point shellacking of miami for a #5 final ranking.
2006 Auburn
Went 11-2 and got up to #2 during the season. Ranked 5th at time of game and would finish the season 8th.
2012 Florida
Undefeated and ranked 2nd at game time. Team was 11-1 and ranked 4th going into bowl season but surprisingly lost to louisville to finish 11-2 and ranked 9th
02 bama, 03 tennessee, 04 LSU, 09 tech, 14 Clemson, and I'm sure a handful of others would make the honorable mention list. For the "final" list I tried to stick to teams that finished with less than 3 losses and ended in the top 10. I think those 4 above are a notch above the rest.

Tennessee in 2001, and it isn't even close in my opinion. That team was good enough to play for the national title.
2005 LSU was a solid team and was impressive in the Peach Bowl, but they were frankly kind of lucky to win 10 in the regular season.
I think the fact that we dominated Auburn as badly as we did (with a 6-4 team) should eliminate them from the argument.

Was '12 Florida the highest ranked team we beat under Richt? I remember thinking after that game watching SportsCenter 'dang I can't remember us beating somebody ranked #2 or 1'

Exhibit A why Fulmer should have got canned.As talented a team in SECE history or at least tied with '08 UFAG.
Had no business losing to LSU in the SECCG
