2008 UF. Just ridiculously stacked with playmakers on both sides of the ball.

2011 LSU if Mett had played. Easily would have beaten the 85 bears.

1-2009 Bama
2-2012 Auburn
3-98 Tennessee
1-2009 Bama

Gotta include 96 UF then.

This is not to start an LSU/Bama mulligan pissing match, but on paper LSU would have been tough as hell to beat with big win over Oklahoma State. Not to mention the absurd amount of talent on the roster
wins over
Rose Bowl winner
Orange Bowl winner
National Champion...hypothetical OSU matchup, Alabama crushes whoever in the Sugar Bowl
Cotton Bowl winner
pretty sure three other teams that won bowl games too
way to remind me of 1/9/12, you dick
eta: I'm going with 2011 Alabama

And raise you omission of all teams that didnt have entire starting backfield drafted in first round.
Leaves 04 Auburn

Oh and since you mentioned 01 UF, 01 UT and especially 06 LSU deserve mentions.

Almost put 04 Auburn at 3 but I think 98 Tennessee beats them.

This will not be discussion, everyone will say their own team, and then it will be a pissing match.
That being said, '98 TN = GOAT
Tons of great players on that team:
Jeff Hall (iceman kicker)
Jeremaine Copeland (XFL Star)
Deon Grant
Cedrick Wilson
Tee Martin
Travis Henry
Dwayne Goodrich
Travis Stephens
Al Wilson
Jamal Lewis
Peerless Price
Billy Ratliff
Eric Westmoreland
Chad Clifton
Shaun Ellis

Easily would've been the most impressive resume no doubt...however, y'all were #86 in total offense that season.

There isn't even a question who had the best regular season. LSU 2011
Outscoring a schedule with 8 bowl teams including 3 top 3 teams to the tune of 500-123, and scoring 40 or more points 7 times.
Even though they lost the NCG, I would still put them in at least the Top 8 overall.
I would also put that 2003 LSU team at least in the Top 6 as well. They gave up 10 points per game and held #1 Oklahoma averaging 56 points to 150 total yards and 2 TD set up deep in LSU territory in the BCSNCG.
They also whipped Top 10 Georgia twice, and highly ranked Auburn, South Carolina, Ole Miss squads, and beat Alabama by 24 points on the road.

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.

1999 South Carolina

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.
