2011 Easily one of best teams in all of College Football history
Easy cowboy. 2011 was a really good team. But the best teams in CFB history don't get shutout in their bowl game, let alone completely dominated. Bama had 21 first downs. We had 5. Bama had 384 yds. We had LESS THAN 100 YARDS. And Oregon vastly outgained us that year. We won the game because we won the turnover battle 3-0. Go back and check the SEC cship game box score, where Georgia stomped all over us until they turned it over twice and HB7 went intergalactic on them with return yardage.
The 2011 team was resilient and had playmakers on D. Also had NFL talent at RB and OL. But overall the O that year was anemic. It was not one of the best teams in CFB history.

The 2011 team lost 21-0 in the biggest game of the year. That team could not even cross midfield on offense until late in the 4th quarter. That is pathetic no matter how you slice it.
Stop acting like the 2011 team was the greatest football team ever. Because they were not. That team's legacy was permanently sealed forever when the game ended 21-0.

Sure it was. The best teams in CFB history can't just go undefeated in perpetuity. The regular season and SEC title game are about as dominant as it's possible to be. On top of absolutely wrecking the SEC (including a win AT the 2nd best team), the 2011 squad beat 2 winners of other Power 5 conferences - badly.
The Tennessee game at Neyland still ranks for me as the #1 most demoralizing result forced on another opponent in LSU history. The 2nd half of that game must still haunt those poor Vols.
