IF you have a LOSS you cannot be the greatest of anything. Anyone who includes a team with a loss is a moron.
We can discuss the one loss teams all day, but here are my thoughts on it.
in no order:
1992 Alabama (13-0)
1998 Tennessee (13-0)
2004 Auburn (13-0)
2009 Alabama (14-0)
2010 Auburn (14-0)
Alabama 2009 was not a great team. Solid team, very few stars and played a weak arse schedule. That team would lose to all of the above teams no doubt.
Auburn 2010 was a blast to watch but they gave up points and yards to errbody. If they faced a great team, they would be hard pressed to win. I will eliminate them. (Sorry Cam)
Alabama 1992 was a great defense and a shat shat offense. No way that offense scores more than 14 points on any of the above teams. Sorry.
That leaves 1998 UT and 2004 Auburn.
Push.

Can you honestly say with a straight face that 1992 Alabama would beat 1996 Florida? Not every season is like the other. There are teams with a single loss that could beat several teams from a different year that finished with no losses.

Weak schedule? Dafuq?
That was a great team. 6 players were all Americans, including the KICKER. Like bruh, that team was loaded and clobbered a Florida team that would've also crushed Texas in the title. Their entire defensive 2 deep came back as well as a Heisman trophy winner and 3 All SEC caliber special teams players. And Percy Harvin. And Carlos Dunlap. And Aaron Hernandez. Albeit 2 of those didn't play, but you can't use that weak schedule argument on that team.

You're obviously trolling or have a very short memory. 2009 Alabama had the second toughest schedule in 2009 behind Mississippi State. There were also 6 1st Team AP All-Americans on that team, the most recorded on a single team....ever. To say there were no stars and that they played a weak arse schedule is being very disingenuous.

BS. Not sayin' they were the best, but they beat 3 teams that finished in the top 10, including the teams that finished #2 and #3, 5 teams in the top 25, and 10 bowl teams. At least 2 different independent ratings systems had Bama with either the toughest or second toughest schedule in the nation. If that's a weak arse schedule, then all the teams you listed must've played even weaker arse schedules...
While not all were stars, that year Bama had the Heisman, Butkus, and Jack Lambert award winners, 6 All-Americans, the SEC Offensive and Defensive players of the year, and 8 First team all-SEC players. I'd say that qualifies as more than very few...

Except the 2011 Bama/LSU teams would obliterate the other teams on the list. They had to play each other, doesn't make them worse than unbeaten teams.

Alabama finished the season beating Florida and Texas, each getting their only loss of the season vs Alabama.
Three top 10 wins, 5 top 25 wins. Final opponents were a combined 26-0 vs teams not named Alabama.
1998 Tennessee beat 2 Top 10 teams, 5 Top 25 teams. They also beat 8 teams with winning records, as opposed to Alabama's 11.
2004 Auburn beat 5 Top 25 teams, 2 Top 10. They beat 5 teams with winning records.
Your argument is invalid, my friend.

quote:bullshite. You put 2011 Alabama and 2011 LSU in different seasons, both go undefeated and win national titles by big margins. Their losses cancel out (road win in "game of the century"/national title rematch). Both of those teams should be way up the list.
