You're obviously trolling or have a very short memory. 2009 Alabama had the second toughest schedule in 2009 behind Mississippi State. There were also 6 1st Team AP All-Americans on that team, the most recorded on a single team....ever. To say there were no stars and that they played a weak arse schedule is being very disingenuous.

honestly,I'd go with the 2009 Alabama team.

Hands down 2008 Florida. They would be in the GOAT team conversation with 1995 Nebraska and 2001 Miami if it wasn't for the fluke loss against Ole Miss.

No way. I don't even think they were better than their 2001 team who played and beat much better competition.

LSU had a great team in 2005, may be the best coaching job Les Miles did.

BS. Not sayin' they were the best, but they beat 3 teams that finished in the top 10, including the teams that finished #2 and #3, 5 teams in the top 25, and 10 bowl teams. At least 2 different independent ratings systems had Bama with either the toughest or second toughest schedule in the nation. If that's a weak arse schedule, then all the teams you listed must've played even weaker arse schedules...
While not all were stars, that year Bama had the Heisman, Butkus, and Jack Lambert award winners, 6 All-Americans, the SEC Offensive and Defensive players of the year, and 8 First team all-SEC players. I'd say that qualifies as more than very few...

IF you have a LOSS you cannot be the greatest of anything. Anyone who includes a team with a loss is a moron.
We can discuss the one loss teams all day, but here are my thoughts on it.
in no order:
1992 Alabama (13-0)
1998 Tennessee (13-0)
2004 Auburn (13-0)
2009 Alabama (14-0)
2010 Auburn (14-0)
Alabama 2009 was not a great team. Solid team, very few stars and played a weak arse schedule. That team would lose to all of the above teams no doubt.
Auburn 2010 was a blast to watch but they gave up points and yards to errbody. If they faced a great team, they would be hard pressed to win. I will eliminate them. (Sorry Cam)
Alabama 1992 was a great defense and a shat shat offense. No way that offense scores more than 14 points on any of the above teams. Sorry.
That leaves 1998 UT and 2004 Auburn.
Push.
Guess we should be punished for playing @ 96 FSU.

Even though y'all got smashed by an inferior team in the SECCG?

Can you honestly say with a straight face that 1992 Alabama would beat 1996 Florida? Not every season is like the other. There are teams with a single loss that could beat several teams from a different year that finished with no losses.
He's probably one of the many Auburn fans who think they had a better year than us in 93.

Jason Campbell was a first round draft pick?

Solid list, IMO

We should have beaten Georgia, yeah, but Les Miles was able to pull that team together and get to an 11-2 record with 11 straight games without a bye after two massive hurricanes hit our state is nothing short of remarkable.
I also doubt there was another team in the conference that had the kind of talent LSU had on that team.

I will omit all teams with a loss.
1-2009 Bama
2-2012 Auburn

If we're only considering teams that have gone undefeated you need to amend your candidate list...
1992 - Bama
1993 - Auburn
1998 - Tennessee
2004 - Auburn
2009 - Bama
2010 - Auburn
Oh and to the person who said 1998 TN. I sat there and watched Arkansas pummel them that year only to gift wrap the game to them at the end thanks to their own ineptitude. 98 TN was good but they weren't dominant by any means.
Here's a fond memory for Arkansas fans I'm sure.
