Not flattering Bama...Miami (and the media) was talkin' best dynasty ever when, not if, they won that game. Nobody was picking Bama; all the talking heads and experts in the media were predicting an easy double digit win for Miami. For a team that was coming off 7 top 3 finishes in 10 years, do you think they were happy with a 3-loss top 15 finish the following year? How many top 3 finishes have they had since? Miami lost their swagger, at least for a few years, after that game...
The 93 Sugar Bowl killed the Miami "dynasty". Their success was built on swagger and intimidation. Alabama stripped both from them and left them exposed.
Then Arizona the following year finished them off. They would rebuild years later, but the dynasty was dead and has never been the same since.

There's a few games as an Alabama fan that stand out
1993 Sugar Bowl - this was the game that broke Miami's aura of their legendary run. Just a complete beat down physically representing Old School (Stallings) taking out New School.
1989. Iron Bowl - the first game in Auburn, this was the precursor to Auburn getting the upper hand in the rival for almost 15 years and was the de facto pink slip for Bill Curry
2007 Miss St "Crooms" Alabama and caused collapse of all confidence in Mike Shula
2009 SEC Championship - this effectively extinguished the best run in Florida's history and caused Urban Meyer to have a nervous breakdown. Florida hasn't really been the same despite appearances in the SEC title game subsequently.
2012 BCS Championship- 21-0. LSU has never returned to that level since and signaled a clear turn dominance of Alabama in the rivalry.
