If Dirk can get fouled by getting breathed on, then the 2011 finals was just as rigged going by your logic.

Does the word "injuries" not ring a bell here???

2011 Alabama by far.
1. The polls were manipulated ridiculously by the voters for their own agendas which was obvious from the final polling.
2. The #2 team in the country won the conference, beat Alabama in their house, and finished with more wins against probably one of the most difficult schedules of all time.
3. The team they got in over for the NC had 3 wins in the regular season over teams that finished in the top 20 and they won a major conference. Alabama had one win over one ranked team and didn't win their division.
My other teams would be 2006 OSU just because they didn't play Wisconsin due to the stupid scheduling format, PSU didn't really beat anyone, Michigan got beat down in the Rose Bowl also. Very strange sequence of events for the Big 10.
Then I would say Auburn 2010 just because I didn't really think that team was that strong with out Cam Newton. I don't think a player has ever carried a team so much. I didn't really feel they would make a bowl game if he had an average replacement.
Also 2002 OSU because they didn't seem very dominant and then beat what appeared to be the best team of the BCS era.

I don't blame LSU fans for still being upset about it, that was complete nonsense that Bama was given that mulligan. If you remove the state from OSU, and it were just Oklahoma, no way does Bama get in ahead of them.

1998 Tennessee
Needed a miracle Clint Stoerner fumble to beat Arkansas and beat a Florida State team with their 3rd string QB (Marcus Outzen)
Also, they got help from MSU beating Ohio State. Huge upset. Saban' first big win of career at Columbus.

What about Bama's 3 most recent national championships, while only winning the SEC ONCE in that time span?

2012 Florida has to be on there. Beat aTm when Manziel was new, scraped by Louisiana, and got destroyed by a mediocre Louisville squad.
I hate to say it, but 2011 West Virginia needs to be on there. Everyone remembers the Clemson shellacking, but they went 9-3 in a mediocre Big East, getting beat by average Louisville, and lost by 30 to a bad Syracuse team

1. 2013 Auburn (11-1)- A good team, but a 8-4 team masquerading as a 11-1 team. Chances of winning Bama and Georgia games probably less than 1/2 a percent
the hell you say? The Georgia game was dominated by Auburn in the first half. Georgia seized control for most of the second half before the tipped pass at the end. That game was just about as balanced as you could ask for.
At point did you think Alabama was just going to pull away from Auburn? Auburn was just as effective running the ball on Alabama as any other team they've faced all year. Alabama didn't even turn the ball over and still lost. How many times do you think that has happened with Nick Saban as Alabama's coach?

2007 LSU (12-2)- Admittingly this team looked dominant the first 5 games of the year... but the injuries kicked in and this will go down as the flukiest championship team of all time. Numerous close/lucky wins against Florida, Auburn, and Alabama and limping into the title game with an unimpressive showing against a mediocre UTenn squad. The flukiest aspect of this squad is being a 2 loss champion.
I don't think that team was a fluke. People seem to forget that a 2 loss team was going to the championship that season regardless. If it had been Georgia or Virginia Tech over LSU, they would belong on this list.
And that "unimpressive showing" in the SEC title game was won by the backup QB with a massive cut on his throwing hand.

Yeah, let's just forget the going 11-2 with the toughest schedule in the country thing.
