Auburn 1972 (punt, Bama, punt). Alabama played an extra SEC Game Vs Vandy. Both teams had one loss, but Bama won the SEC.

AU 05/06. In 06 I know we had lost to Arky and UGA bad but I really felt we were a strong team both those years.

The Amazin's in '72 had an awesome defense, but the offense was worse than the current edition (no, really). They fully deserved the SECC that year, but they weren't really 'great'.
I don't consider the '93 team because they were on probation and ineligible from the start.
My pick would be the '86 team. Stout Wayne Hall defense, outstanding special teams, and most of all a phenomenal balanced offensive attack behind Jeff Burger at QB and Brent Fullwood. Lost two incredibly painful games against UF (blew a 17-point 4th quarter lead to a gimpy Kerwin Bell) and UGa (remembered more for "nothing smells like a wet Dawg" than the early whistle on what would have been a game-winning TD run by Fullwood).
Of course the irony would have been that we potentially would have finished 12-0 and still wouldn't have won the MNC (Miami and Penn State both finished undefeated and would have likely matched up in the Fiesta anyway) .
