No specific order to my list just throwing some out there. Would like to see some of your lists.

01 Tennessee anchored by Haynesworth and Henderson at DT
John Chavis had many top ten defenses for us this past decade despite records that did not live up to Tennessee's standards.

So make a list and include any that you feel I left off. You can rank them how you see it.

I vote for the '05 Alabama defense. In October of that year, they did not allow a single touchdown. Statistically speaking, they were the best defense since 1992 Alabama.

Of course you would.

2005 Alabama (10.7 PPG allowed, 10-2 Cotton Bowl)
Key Players: DE Mark Anderson, LB DeMeco Ryans, LB Freddie Roach, FS Roman Harper
The little defense that could…based on total points per game allowed, this is the second best defense of the modern era. This Tide team ran to 9-0 behind this defense and clutch kicking after being bolstered by Tyrone Protho’s catch against Southern Miss in the second game of the season; after that game the defense went on one of the best stretches in SEC history. Alabama beat South Carolina 37-14 and Arkansas 24-13 before they made the nation stand up and take note with the 31-3 decimation of No. 5 Florida. The defensive literally won the game against the Vols, keeping Tennessee at bay the entire game and getting a Tennessee fumble thru the end zone when it looked like they’d finally crack in an eventual 6-3 victory. And the D got the game to overtime against LSU before finally falling in an equally low scoring affair 16-13. Though Auburn got the best of them, they finished the year by locking down Texas Tech in a 13-10 Cotton Bowl win. No other defense on this list did more winning with less contribution from the offense.
2003 LSU allowed 11.0 points per game and 2004 Auburn allowed 11.3 points per game.

Statistics don't lie. And, statistically speaking, '05 Alabama had the best defense of any SEC team this decade.

But...but...but...the SEC had to be down that year, right?

This is true.

Statistically no one compares to Alabama in anything football according to most of its fans.By far the least considerate fan base when it comes to giving other teams credit.

It's a shame the offense was so damn horrible. Joe Kines did an amazing job with that team.

You have to take into account how offenses make the defenses job easier.
That being said, Alabamas 2005 defense did EVERYTHING for that team.
1. 2005 Alabama
2. 2004 Auburn
3. 2003 LSU
4. 2006 Florida
5. 2009 Alabama
Honorable Mention
2008 Florida

2009 Florida
2002 Georgia

Those other defenses were good. But, statistically speaking, '05 Alabama was just a little better.

The 04 Bama defense was pretty good also.
Kines fielded some nice units. I was surprised he couldn't get it done in aggy land.

2003 Lsu - Gave up 11 ppg
2005 Bama - Gave up 10.7 ppg
2004 Auburn - Gave up 11.3 ppg
2009 Bama - Gave up 11.7 ppg
2008 UF - Gave up 12.9 ppg
If you base it on points given up per game, which would be the most important category, it shakes out like this:
1. Bama 05
2. Lsu 03
3. Auburn 04
4. Bama 09
5. Florida 08
