I will rate them like this:
1. 2008 Bama. First #1 ranked SEC team to lose in championship game and lose shot at national.
2. 2001 Tennessee. Not sure what their ranking was, they had lost a game. They had it all set up to make another national championship run and got beat by a second string QB playing for the first time that year.
I cannot think of any other teams that lost a chance to play for a national in the SEC championship game. Any others?

Bama will have a chance to make up for it next year and probably the year after that.

This could be all but 2 Bama teams in terms of the SECCG.

They were ranked #2 that year coming into the game.

How did Alabama choke ? I know they were ranked #1,but that was a product of 70 years of how polls are conducted. Their opponent was favored and also a game away from playing for the title. 6-6 to 12-0 in one season is not choking--I don't care what team,what level ,what sport.
Tennessee in 2001 ,case closed. Worst team in title game was Arkansas in either '95 or '02 and worst performance was Florida in 1999.

1994 Alabama was undefeated and lost to Florida 24-23.

Just how does a 9.5pt underdog choke?

I don't believe it's called choking when the majority of the media, and other fan bases were saying that we hadn't really played anyone, and that Florida was going to win. To me losing a game that the majority of people said we would lose is just that, we lost. Now had everyone (besides Bama fans) been saying we were going to win then that would be choking. Just my opinion.

Wow you are an idiot. Bama lost to a better team, who was favored by 9.5 at kickoff. You hate Saban, we got that, but don't make crap up like this and make yourself look stupid. Choking is falling apart when you should have won. Bama played a solid game, but Florida's talent took over in the 4th. Its not like Bama blew a double digit lead at the end of the game.
The list should look like this:
1. UT 2001
2. UF 1999
3. Bama 94 I believe it was that 24-23 game
4. LSU 2005 (tough season, but they fell apart in the Ga. Dome)
