Question: What was the best team Alabama ever beat?

What was the best team Alabama ever beat? A lot of really good ones lost to the Crimson Tide.

My nomination would be the 2011 LSU team in the BCSNCG.

Leading up to that dismantling, there was some talk that they were the best college football team ever.

It all worked out for us in the rematch in the BCSNCG, but we should have never lost the Nov. matchup. We played too conservatively on offense, which CNS often did in games like that!

I maintain Reid didn't get that INT. That play was heartbreaking

The White team in 2011 A-Day game…lol

Clemson, with Watson at QB in 2015.

Clemson, with Watson at QB in 2015.

Yes, they deserve a vote. It took an onside kick and a kickoff return to beat them.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

2009 Florida
2011 lsu
1992 Miami

2009 Texas has a claim there as well.

 

[Padreruf]

Clemson, with Watson at QB in 2015.

By far...that was a great team.

The UGA team we just beat in the SECCG this last December was outstanding

 

[81usaf92]

2011 LSU or 2009 Florida

I disagree, they are a "second Tier" team.

 

[TexasBama]

Probably 09 Florida, 2015 Clemson, or 2011 LSU as has been mentioned. I would add 1982 Penn State, who won the MNC.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

Either 2009 Florida or 2015 Clemson.

I would also say that those were CNS's best single Gameday coaching efforts too.

2011 LSU had QB issues and we should have beaten them at home the 1st time.

As Great as our 2011 D was...and it was Great... and All-Time Great opponent would not get shut out and would put up some kind of fight. That LSU team had a critical flaw that we exploited in the rematch.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

1978 Penn. St.

 

[tidehawk]

1992 Miami

 

[TideEngineer08]

1925 Washington

 

[GP for Bama]

1. 2015 Clemson
2. 1992 Miami
3. 2020 Ohio State
4. 1978 Penn State
5. 2009 Texas

Come on guys, it has to be the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame from 2012. The team of destiny, ordained by Jesus himself. Until the BCS NCG, they didn't allow a TD drive longer than 75 yards all season. How in the world was poor ole Bama going to move the ball against the power of the Lord. Not to mention, their girlfriends were hauntingly beautiful.

I don't remember who it was but some sportswriter said before during the warmups that he could look at the 2 teams and said there was no way ND was going to win.
