of course.
every time somebody puts out a "best of the whatever" list, the most recent team to win something is always No. 1.

Indeed! Just look at the ACC's list. Their #1 is a team that played exactly 10 years ago. Very recent indeed!

WTF ever. LSU 03 would pwn Bama 09.

You can't give me a single reason why Bama shouldn't be #1 on that list.

thats cause the acc blows...if you havent noticed lately

I would have posted this even if we would have went 0-12 this year. Jesus, Aubie, get a grip. Not everything I post is to show off my team. I just found it interesting that ESPN had ranked the best teams of the decade from all the major conferences. Take a prozac and get a grip.

And 2005 Texas as the #1 team in the Big 12? Even if '09 Texas had beaten Alabama, that team would have still ranked below 2005 Texas and possibly 2000 Oklahoma.

Strange list in some spots
The ACC and Big 12 2007 year's team for instance. OU over KU with 3 losses (including to CU and a 20 pt beatdown in the Fiesta)? KU beat Va Tech in the Orange, the same VT team that got the 7th best team nod for the ACC that same year.

As much as I think the big east is garbage, WVU had some teams (07,05) who could score on anyone on that list.

That makes total sense. I mean, you lost to a mediocre Florida team at home and we totaled the 2nd or 3rd best Florida team of the decade in the SECCG, yet you'd totally beat Alabama with that '03 team. Great logic.

SEC list should be
1. '08 Florida
2. '03 LSU
3. '09 Alabama
4. '04 Auburn
5. '01 Florida
6. '06 LSU
7. '07 LSU
8. '09 Florida
9. '06 Florida
10.'02 Georgia
1. '08 Florida
2. '03 LSU
3. '09 Alabama
4. '04 Auburn
5. '01 Florida
6. '06 LSU
7. '07 LSU
8. '09 Florida
9. '06 Florida
10.'02 Georgia

I would say going 14-0 and beating 10 bowl teams, as well as defeating the past three national champions in the process would warrant being at the top.

You'd think that would be pretty obvious, but logic isn't very common in these parts. It is illogical to put a team with losses ahead of a team with no losses. It doesn't matter if you believe there was more talent on the team with losses; the point is, the team LOST. Alabama did not lose.

I know you love to kiss arse around here, but that list is fricking retarded, and i'm confident that you don't have a single logical argument for placing Bama 3rd.
