Here's the deal: all discussions about the top football program in the country begin and end with Alabama. Still. Today. Period. That's evidenced by the fact that, once again, they are the preseason #1 team in the country. All of these other games mentioned have been important, with some perhaps more significant than the other, but at the end of the day, the true "watershed" game...according to the definition of the term...is the one that started that run...which in case you guys haven't figured out, isn't over yet.
So while I think it's Alabama-Clemson 2008, one can certainly make a valid argument for Alabama-Florida 2009.
Seriously...any game that Auburn or Ole Miss played? What changed? Nothing. Until we're past this run...which we apparently aren't yet...games like the Kick 6, 4th and 25, or (chuckle) Auburn-FSU are just interesting diversions. Nothing really changed.

I think your evidence would be different if Alabama had actually finished the year #1.

And people wonder why they refer to every bama fan as Harvey...
