Most Impressive: Oklahoma in 2010.

Agree, oU was #1 AP that day. My day started with College GameDay on the Quad. Homecoming parade. It ended with a dominating 36-27 win. Got to say the oU fans were great sports.

oU headline from that game: The truth about OU-Missouri: Tigers kicked the Sooners all over the field.

Kind of cheating, but over the last 7 years (2008-2014) Bama's current "we are awesome" run

In order the most impressive wins (dominating performances over good or great teams)

2008 - @UGA in the now infamous blackout
2009 - UF in SEC Title Game
2010 - Michigan State in bowl game
2011 - LSU in BCS Title Game
2012 - Michigan in the opener
2012 - Notre Dame in BCS Title Game

Those 6 games were by far the ones where Alabama played their A+++ game against a very good opponent and blew their shite out.

There were a bunch of other impressive wins too over that span, they were just either more competitive games or over crummier teams.

A lot of Ole Miss fans would say it was our upset of Bama last year, even after the refs gifted them a scoop-and-score TD just before halftime by not flagging the facemask penalty causing the fumble. But for me, the most impressive win was 2013 against LSU.

It was only the second season of Freeze's effort to rebuild the utter mess he inherited from Nutt. LSU entered the game ranked 6th in the nation, averaging over 40 points a game, with a roster full of NFL-bound talent. Our roster was outclassed at every position, even before injuries decimated our already-thin roster. Our Defensive Coordinator put together a set of pretty well-disguised pass coverage schemes, and a cobbled-together D-line (made up of players that wouldn't have made any other SEC team's 2-deep) held LSU to 24 points along the way to a gutsy win. Freeze thoroughly outcoached Miles, and our team played with more heart to beat a team that was, on paper, vastly better. That was impressive.

It was an amazing game. We actually jumped out to a 10-0 halftime lead and then made it 17-0. But LSU fought back. In the 4th quarter we muffed a punt that LSU recovered inside our 20, but our defense stiffened and held them to a FG. LSU then drove for a tying TD late, and we had to engineer a drive to kick the winning FG with only two seconds left. (More time would have been left on the clock, but the genius Miles didn't take a timeout before our FG until just a few seconds were left).
