:wow:

I'mma go with Cam though. Just off the strength of doing what he did in the SEC.

Looking back at the Alabama game and the SEC title game in particular, it was just amazing how he was so dominant...and how he basically just came outta nowhere.

Cam in 2010 without question played tougher comp and had less talent around him.

That Texas OL was beast and the Texas backfield was stacked at RB. The WR's were burners and you had solid guys like Sweed and David Thomas. Texas also had a solid ass defense. The only games Texas had to sweat before USC was the game at OSU and the game at A&M. Texas competition was trash that year in the Big 12 (Colorado for Big 12 Title:lolbron: )

Vince had a damn good season that was elevated to legendary because of the national championship game. But Cam beasted pretty much every game on some video game shyt. It's close as hell but ima go with Cam's year as being better.

Cam had a better regular season, Vince was better in the title game against a much tougher D than what killa cam faced.

Can't blame Vince for his competition. Didn't matter who it was Vince would have rose to the occasion. But he did face TOSU, OU(rivalry game), Okie St, and USC(best team ever) that year.

I gotta say Killa as well. Texas team talent was better than Auburns.

And Killa's comeback vs Bama was :wow:

but Vince's BCS Championship Performance was >>>>>>>> Cam's.

OU suckd that year, it was our worst year of the past decade.

And we yammed up on Vince the previous year....people tend to forget that tho. :whistle:

Okie St was a nobody back then

I give him props for USC, but that's about it.
