2012 Aggies have a decent case there. That's pretty darn impressive NFL group right there.
So far
2012 Aggies, 1984 Florida, 2012 Alabama have made good cases.

The 2012 Alabama line is the best since the 1995 Nebraska line and it really isn't close. The Bama defense dominated the faggy line in the second half of that game and the Aggy defense was gassed in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately nuss went retard and didn't run the ball inside the 5 . No way that line doesn't get us 5 yrds on 4 straight runs.

Damn right! Think about accomplishing everything we did that year, including going on the road and slugging it out with y’all and coming out with a W...and then...you almost have to forget about it. You can’t bow your chest out without people-literally-making shite up and throwing gifs in your face.
I went to the Oregon Game in DFW. I was in NOLA for 010912. Was at every home game in-between. I pray no fanbase ever experiences a performance like that. As a fan, it was terrible.
I still remember catching the Canal Street Trolley Line away from the Dome (Pro Tip if you ever wanna get out of that area postgame quick, the Trolley Line is a no brainer). We had the Alabama Mens Swimming & Diving Team on the Trolley with us. Struck up a convo with the kids (who were incredibly gracious and respectful BTW). They were shocked we didn’t even try to do anything else. No moreso than we were of course.
But we did take solace in realizing others saw that epic, astoundingly pathetic, lifeless performance out of our coaching staff.
So melt? frick yeah. shite will sting for a long while. For me anyway.

Not SEC, but a great OL story...
When Jerry Rice was setting records at Mississippi Valley State, Willie "Satellite" Totten was protected by the "Ton of Fun"... 5 linemen that collectively weighed over 2,000 lbs. Yep, they averaged over 400 lbs per man.
Totten played in the CFL and was an NFL replacement player in 1987 for the Counterfeit Bills.

That's gotta be the biggest line, O or D, in football history!....damn, I'd hate to have to feed'em.

In 1984, no one in the SEC was throwing the ball around. Every defense stacked against the run and yet, the 84 UF line was still vicious. But the 2012 Bama line did what it wanted, whenver it wanted to do it, against everyone on the schedule.
Top 3 would have to include those two and one of the lines from Fulmer's time at UT or 2013 AU, but I'd probably drop AU out of the Top 3 since they choked against FSU when it mattered the most.

If holding is allowed All top ten are Bama lines. They are the undisputed masters of holding.

The slow burn has been with me ever since. Some losses linger. That one was something altogether different.
Ain’t no gif can come close to it for me, brah...

Has the FBI weighed in on the holding and if they have jurisdiction?
