The correct answer is the 1992 SECCG, Bama 28, UF 21.

Really no question about it.

Actually most of the biggest games take place off campus. 21-0.

I saw more Bama fans crying in November than LSU fans in January...so which was the bigger game.

Yet, here we are, over a year later, and you're still crying, and bama fans aren't.

Championship games are by definition more important than regular season games. I'm sorry you're too butthurt or whatever to grasp this obvious fact.

i don't hate this response.

ETA: Actually, the 1926 Rose Bowl is the answer because it gave credibility to the South.

The first SEC Championship game changed college football, and for the better. Every other conference with enough members has followed suit with a conference championship game.

Jan 9 was also big but let's not talk about that.

On a standpoint of anticipation, the first ever SEC title game between Alabama and Florida has to be it. I was too young to remember, but the build up to that game had to be massive. Can you imagine with todays TV market if that game had been any time in the past 5 or so years? It would have been even bigger had Florida won, because Alabama would have never played Miami in the Sugar Bowl and Alabama/SEC is denied a national title. Roy Kramer would have been lynched.

Yes. It's a fact OSU had a far better resume than Bama.

Fact. In 2011 , in the regular season, Bama beat 2 teams that were ranked and only beat 3 teams above .500. OSU beat 5 top 25 teams. Facts.

You should know by now that the Big 12 is the most over-inflated conference in terms of rankings every year. The Big 12 build up their rankings by beating up weak out-of-conference opponents and then when they actually have to play decent out-of-conference opponents, their best teams always get destroyed. See Oklahoma every year.

You forgot they lost to Iowa State, Iowa Freaking State. And that "conference championship" is a little misleading. OSU was awarded that championship, they didn't win it in a championship game. Bama and OSU finished the season with the exact same 11-1 record.

P. S. PP7 didn't get an interception, Williams gave up an interception and Miles didn't call a prevent defense. We chant Rammer Jammer, you chant STTDB. Now get the frick over it already.

The one in November was an SEC game.

I'd answer the 1992 SECCG to the OP though.

USMC Gators; how does the Bama spooge taste going down?
