re: Where does the 2013 Iron Bowl rank in the Pantheon of classic SEC games?

Not so fast.

IB was #4 vs #1. 2012 SECCG was #2 vs #3.
IB was for a trip to the SECCG. 2012 was for a trip to the National Title Game.
Both games were pretty much dead even throughout the game.
SECCG had a classic ending in its own right.

I really don't think you can say that it is, literally, the best college football game of all time.

For the most part this is splitting hairs, but hey this is the rant.

IB 2013 was won with a coaching decision and a play. The ending to the 2012 SEC game was a bit anti climatic but a poor decision of where to throw the ball ended the game. If UGA would have scored it would be better. Typically an upset is usually seen as a better win than the favorite holding on.

As far as all time. I would go USC vs Texas for the BCS. Though the IB 2013 was greatest ending.
