2. Glenn Dorsey, LSU: One of the most dominant defensive linemen the SEC has produced the last decade, Dorsey was a driving force in the Tigers' 2007 title run. He won the Outland Trophy, the Lombardi Award and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy in '07.

SEC's Top 10 Games Of BCS Era

1. Arkansas 50, LSU 48 (3 OT) -- Nov. 23, 2007: Houston Nutt's last game at Arkansas was memorable. Darren McFadden put on a show for the ages, running for 206 yards and three TDs as the Razorbacks upset No. 1 LSU in Tiger Stadium.

4. LSU 33, Kentucky 30 -- Nov. 9, 2002: It even has its own name, the Bluegrass Miracle. No. 14 LSU escaped with a 74-yard Hail Mary TD pass from Marcus Randall to Devery Henderson with no time left on the clock in Lexington.

10. LSU 17, Ole Miss 14 -- Nov. 22, 2003: No. 3 LSU held off Eli Manning and Ole Miss in the biggest game at Vaught-Hemingway in 30 years when Manning tripped over one of his own linemen and fell on fourth down.

3. 2003 LSU: One of the most well-rounded defensive teams you'll ever see, LSU won in vintage Nick Saban style -- with a suffocating defense and a disciplined offense that had a way of wearing down its foes. The Tigers beat No. 3 OU in the Sugar Bowl to win their first national title in 45 years.

5. 2007 LSU: Even though the Tigers lost two games (both in triple OT), they were easily one of the most talented teams in the SEC over the past decade. It was a team that found different ways to win and got a late-season reprieve to reach the national title game, which was bad news for Ohio State.

10. LSU shows its mettle: With hurricanes ravaging the Louisiana coast in 2005, the LSU football team was a symbol of hope for the rest of the state. The Tigers' players and coaches helped in the relief effort, as the LSU campus became a medical triage and safe haven for evacuees. The Tigers persevered to finish 11-2 and No. 5 in the polls.
