He famously hates the whole SEC, 2006 was the start of 7 straight SEC champions. Probably a dark time for him.

If 2005 USC deserves (they dont) to be on the list then 2005 Texas needs to be higher

Miami at #1 invalidates his opinion completely.
And how the frick does have have 2015 Alabama below so many others?
fricking retard.

The top 5 seems correct. There’s a few teams missing that seem like they deserve a mention: 2004 Auburn, 2010 Auburn, 2008 Florida is too low

Before anyone starts talking shite about this list and the appropriate "order," just first note that Alabama makes up 30% of that 20-year period.

Great ?
If he likes 2023 Michigan then he should like 2015 Bama.

Embarrassed by Freeze and Ole Miss. Without Derrick Henry would have been very pedestrian.

Was 2015 not the year where they averaged one non-offensive TD per game?

2019 LSU would beat 2001 Miami
Dave Aranda defense and our offense, whom no one could stop, would have given them shite fits

You could do that with a lot of teams on this list. A pretty weird, hypothetical way to judge any season.

Y'all think 2019 could beat the 72 Dolphins and 85 Bears all on the field at the same time, though.

Derrick Henry, during his college career at Alabama, had a standout performance against Auburn in the 2015 Iron Bowl.
He rushed for 271 yards and one touchdown on 46 carries, leading Alabama to victory and securing the SEC West title.
This performance was a highlight of his Heisman Trophy-winning season.

#1 is a joke and 2021 UGA would wipe the floor with many of those teams

I KNOW an auburn fan isn't going with the "if you take away this one player then that team wouldn't have been very good" talking point..

2004 Auburn over 2010 Auburn all day. At least Mandel barely got that part right.

That was the game they started Cooper Bateman for some reason. They turned the ball over 5 times and it still took balls bouncing off helmets on terrible decisions for them to come out with a win.
The whole "without this player" shite is stupid. The guy who won the Heisman was important? Ok Auburn fan.
