Well I happened to do a bit of looking and thinking about this today also. Here is as complete a team statistical comparison as you will find:

The two teams still stack up quite closely. Despite falling short in one tourney game the 2013 group like the 2007 group did play well together and seemed to enjoy playing together. The 2007 group was much better offensively, but the 2013 group was as much better defensively.

Stats rarely tell the whole or accurate story of a team. There so many threads on our stats this year, it was ridiculous. If the '07 team played '13 team 10 times, the '07 would probably win 7.

The numbers do bear that this year's team was better defensively, but keep in mind it was against a down year for the SEC.

I cannot imagine the '13 team beating the '07 team a single time.That '07 team was far better (IMO) than any team in this year's tournament.

I agree stats do not tell the whole story. But ignoring stats ignores a huge part of the story. In sports you are ultimately what you do.

Perhaps the best passing QB in college football history really was a kid who signed with KSU in the pre-Bill Snyder era, was hurt as a Frosh and barely played in his college career. But he didn't do anything so I have to go with that guy Wuerffel who put up the best QB numbers in college football history, even if no one liked his throwing motion much.

Horford vs Young a push? Ehhh lol I would go Horford. Green over Wilbekin too.

This is where I'm at also.

If I gambled on basketball, I would bet my life savings on the 07 team in a hypothetical game. Comparing Murphy and Young to Horford and Noah is laughable.
