I considered 1985 for bama, but it just was not an important game and importance is part of naming the "greatest". Neither team was great in 1985 and nothing was on the line for either.
Same reason 1982 and 1989 didn't make the AU list though their importance to AU are right at the top of the list.

Auburn came into the game with an 8-2 record and a Top 10 ranking while Alabama came in with a 7-2-1 record.
Both teams were good.

Well there's your problem.
You're a game on the schedule, and generally the IB isn't a terribly important game in the national scheme of things for both teams at the same time.
Other than "you can't afford to lose this game", but that would be the same circumstance regardless of whom the opponent was in the last regular season game of the year.
