Auburn's luck boils down to the play against UGA in 2013 and overcoming an early season loss thanks to the OSU loss in 2013.
Bama's luck includes the unique aspect of 2 blocked field goals in 2009, overcoming a late season loss in 2011 and getting voted into a title game despite not winning your conference or division and in 2012 Bama overcame a late season loss thanks to other teams loosing later.
Every team typically has a defining situation or two for each season. Some aren't so much luck. Winning games late when you control every statistical category in the game or by your own ability to make a play isn't really luck. Otherwise both schools had lots of luck in the last 5 years.

Auburn did need Ohio State to lose the B1G against Michigan State in the final hour.

You have to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.
In every season there are plays or circumstances that you can point to that get you where you want to go. The trick is to be prepared to maximize the opportunity when presented.
Bama and Auburn have both had their opportunities and their failings. On the whole though both programs are at the top of their game.
