2011 LSU and 2011 Alabama.
We know how good the LSU defense was that year. Held #3 Oregon to 27. Oregon scored more than 40 9 times that year. Next lowest output was 34 in a win against Washington. 14 of the points LSU gave up to Oregon were trash. Held West Va to 21 and Alabama to 21 in the NCG. WVU scored 70 plus against Clemson that year in its bowl game. No one else scored more than 17 on LSU (Petrino coached Arkansas). After that, 11 points was the next highest by a ranked Florida team.
Alabama gave up 21 to Georgia Southern , 14 to Auburn and 14 to Arkansas. They didn’t play any offenses near the fire power or Oregon and WVU that year.
Those are the two best defenses in the SEC in the last 30 years.

Bama's defense gave up 0 points to Auburn that year. Auburn had a kickoff return for a TD and fumble return for a TD. Georgia Southern only scored 14 on the defense, 7 points were on a kickoff return for a TD.
Arkansas did score 14 points, but they were an 11-2 team that only lost to the two teams playing in thr NCG.

These jumped to my mind immediately. Great defenses. After the season we might look back on this and put the Georgia defense along side those. We'll see.
If we make it into the playoffs that will tell us more.
