If we finish 9-1 (8-1) with a top 3/4 ranking, it will arguably be our best season since 1939. On paper, the ranking alone should be enough, but then you throw in an Orange Bowl win along with 8 SEC wins and it really stands out.

I also think the 2012 teams would beat the 2020 team. Both yers were pretty strange. By the end of 2012, I think we were the best team in the country.

I won't disregard the final AP rank but preseason polling has an effect on where you finish and starting unranked in 2012 makes the top 5 finish as impressive as starting Top 10 and finishing top 4.

I actually disagree. Manziel tore up Bama's defense, but struggled against LSU's. That's the kind of D we have right now. Yeah, he might get loose for a play or two (like Nix's houdini act this year), but by and large, they're shutting down the foolishness.

The '12 defense was stout, but the '20 Maroon Goons + Spiller are a match with them. Good Mond shows up, that's a wrap, IMO.

That's what makes this '20 team so tough--they're just very balanced. Tough to rattle.
