2020 vs 2016 for championship
2016 wins

I think '15 may have taken the bottom region over '16. They were just as deep defensively and the offense really got clicking at the end of the season. '15 vs '20 is a tough matchup, but I'd probably take '20.

Are they playing modern RPO, cant hit anyone rules or old school cant block downfield rules and letting safeties clean up plays?

Vegas might have 2010 favored over all of them.

People always have this hot take because the names on the roster look so good, but most of the players were very young on that defense and were not yet what they would later become. It was not just a fluke that they dropped three games.

2008 is probably more revered by us because of what we had recently been as a program. But 2018, Clemson stain on their shirt and all, would beat the 2008 squad.
I've got 2020 over 2015...

Injures killed this team.
The starting OL only started 5 games together and went 5-0.
Upshaw, Barron, Julio, Richardson, Ingram, Dareus, Hightower, B. Jones and Fluker all had lingering issues all season. That and 6 SEC teams having a bye before playing Alabama didn't help.
Alabama was completely healthy for the first time during the season in the Bowl Game and we saw what Alabama did to a Top Ten Big Ten Champion.

Not to mention Garcia played out of his ever loving mind against us. Can't really remember what happened in the LSU game but the other loss was to the eventual national championship team.
Still think they'd be favored over alot of those teams.

Same coordinators and all? 2011 would be a tough arse team to beat. None of the later teams saw a defense even remotely close to that and I think it would catch them completely off guard (as what happened in the 2018 NCG).
2018 was probably the best overall team until the Clemson game
ETA: To actually answer the question, 2011 over 2015. That top bracket is overloaded imo. I would rank 2011, 2012 and 2020 as the top 3 (of this list) and they're all in the same group
