Probably a generational thing. I think that for most people my age...i.e. watched the 24-23 Sugar Bowl loss to ND...any other game is a distant second to the raping of Notre Dame.

Yeah, the '73 Sugar Bowl tore my heart out...I was 11 and that game gave me nightmares. That '73 Bama team would've probably been regarded as one of the greatest of all time if they could've won that one...and it didnt' help that the very next year, ND kept us from another championship with another heartbreaking loss in the Orange Bowl, 13-11...so yes, that beatdown of ND was very therapeutic for us oldtimers...

The Texas BCS game would also rate highly for me...that was Bama's first and only win against the Horns...and we had a couple of heart-breaking losses to them in bowl games over the years...

My top 10 under Saban:
1. Notre Dame, 2013 BCS CG
2. Georgia, 2012 SEC CG
3. Florida, 2009 SEC CG
4. Texas, 2010 BCS CG
5. Auburn, 2009 Iron Bowl
6. LSU, 2012 BCS CG
7. LSU, 2012
8. Tennessee, 2009
9. Georgia, 2008
10. Auburn, 2012
