2008 Bama-UGa is the most obvious answer.
Sure, the season opener against a vastly overrated Clemson team was impressive, but even then we could write it off as another case of Clemsoning rather than Bama dominance. The Blackout game made fans of every other SEC school go "oh shite..."
I would compare it to Bama unleashing the wishbone on defending champ Tennessee in 1971, or the Florida serving notice on the rest of the SEC by crushing the Tide 35-0 in 1991. Each of those games set the stage for long-term conference dominance.

Funny, because that was exactly what I thought. I was still very convinced we were going to go into Athens and get handled. Sitting in that 3rd deck in Athens, it wasn't until Julio caught that ball in the end zone to go up 31-0 that I finally believed we had left the Shula days behind. And then I lost my fvckin mind.
