Hard to argue against that. If anything 05 and 11 are 1a and 1b. I'll give me reasoning though:

-05 you had upperclassmen Kyle Williams and Claude Wrotten who were both AAs. Third DT was a sophomore Glenn Dorsey. Favorite was in that rotation also

-11 you had brockers and Logan who were also incredible, and freshman Anthony Johnson coming in as third DT. Downs was in that rotation and solid as well.

The starters in both years were elite, but the bench in 05 had an elite player in Dorsey as well. Dorsey (SO) > Johnson (FR) is the reason I gave the nod to 05.
Now the secondary and overall Defense was better in 11 no doubt. Ronnie prude and Jessie Daniels started in that 05 defensive backfield, with guys like Daniel Francis and McCray in slot coverage contributing.
