Boy, a lot of aspects here.

Best moment (Ismail punt return non-TD) - 1990
Best team - 1991 Warshington
Most fun player - 1991 Howard....he was just as good in '90, but all the TDs and the punt return TD/Heisman pose!!!
Spurrier shows up and dominates the SEC - "1st in the SEC" pseudo-championship in 1990
First official SEC championship for Florida - 1991
Cool to see GA Tech matter - 1990
5th down - 1990


The only letdowns to me were the bowls in the '91 season - Nebraska pooped the bed vs Miami and UW was overwhelming for UM.  


I guess I'll go with 1990.
