Those other defenses were good. But, statistically speaking, '05 Alabama was just a little better.
Are you just looking at that one stat of scoring D to make that conclusion? I think you need a bit broader analysis. Also, the difference between 9.7 and 10.3 is what about 1 TD over the course of the season?
I actually think the list of 2005 Bama, 2004 AU, 2003 LSU may be pretty fair though.

Don't know where you get 10.14 PPG for '03 LSU. I did the math and I came out with an even 11 PPG.

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.
WOW! Just...WOW!
Have you seen the shite everyone (including the majority of LSUers) said last fall?
"The SEC is down..."
"The NCAA overall is down..."
"If Peterson's INT had been called properly..."
"If Colt hadn't gone down..."
Dude, your post is unbelieveable in its idiocy.

142 points allowed on the season, divided by 14 games.

I'm also basing my conclusions on the fact that the defense for Alabama in 2005 was THE team. The offense was anemic and ranked as one of the worst in college football. In my opinion, that increases the legitimacy of the '05 defense even more.

They allowed 154 points in '03.

This is true, but at the same time, if you look at points allowed only, you could make a case that a disproportionate number of points were given up by AU's 2nd and 3rd team players (or against prevent defenses) because AU was up big in almost every game by mid third quarter in 2004. For example, Bama, UT, and VT all scored most of their points in the 4th quarter in 2004 against AU when AU had double digit leads.
Lot of ways to look at it and I do not think you can really say definitively who is better.

Just going by what he did on the field he is one of the most overrated players in Alabama history. He may have been able to do more had he had a better offensive line. But I don't do "ifs" I do "facts."

Have all the respect in the world for Bama's program deservingly so.But I stand by my analysis of the fanbase.

I was still in highschool that year UF came to BDS. Ryans and company leveled Leak and shut down Corch's offense. People seem to forget how bad that offense sucked pre-Tebow and Harvin. I think we will see more of the same next year.
The 03 LSU defense had the nastiest D-line play I have ever seen. They were flat out dominant.

True, but the '92 Bama D-line was pretty comparable.

Lol! You could make an argument for 2nd and 3rd string defenses if you were '95 Nebraska. Your leads weren't that big over those teams in those games. Alabama had a 6-0 lead over Auburn in '04 before your superior depth and talent put us away in the second half. And your scrubs didn't see any playing time against Tennessee in the SEC title. It was 28-21 going into the fourth quarter.

bullshite. Auburn won by the same margin that last year's Bama teams did. Every team had 2nd and 3rd teamers in. Tired argument trying to make Auburn the best team when they weren't.
