As I have said about 5 times now, the criteria is a combination of what is at stake and how compelling the game turns out to be.
If you have one for bama that is "greater" according to my criteria, lay it out.
Otherwise, just shut up with the nonsense arguing.

Then I'd have to go with the 1990 Iron Bowl. The final score was 16-7 Alabama but the game was close all the way through. It was 10-7 at the half and 13-7 entering the final quarter of play. The stakes involved: who would control the state of Alabama for the next decade.
Alabama went on to go 7-3 against Auburn in the 1990s, while also using the victory as a platform to win 24 of their next 26 games, as well as an SEC and national title.

seems like 1989 would be a big one for Auburn.
Alabama was #2 in the country and Auburn was #11.
Auburn ended an unbeaten season for Alabama. AU trailed at halftime but then just opened up a can on Alabama in the 2nd half.
i remember my step dad not being to enthusiastic about Alabama having to play in Auburn. Bill Curry's inability to beat Auburn the previous years was just a convenient excuse seemed it like.
But that Alabama squad had overachieved that year and Auburn was just starting to find themselves after they had lost a few times in the 1st half of that season.
so i could see why you would not consider it the greatest win but I'd say it was a Top 3 game.
just one guy's opinion.
