LSU- Win at Bama in regular season, 2011


I wouldn't choose this one. But for the rematch, it might have been, but after the rematch, it's not the most iconic win for LSU since 1992. Others that are more likely choices would be

1997 win over #1 Florida
2000 OT win over Tennessee after losing to UAB the week before
2001 SECCG win over Tennessee
2003 BCS Championship win over Oklahoma
2005 stomping of Miami that they have never recovered from
2007 win over Florida
2011 win over Oregon

It's obviously up to LSU fans to decide their most iconic win, but a win over one of the few Spurrier teams not to win the East in the '90s doesn't strike me as "most iconic."

Beating a Vols team that finished 8-4 a week after losing to UAB also strikes me as not that big of a deal.

This I could see.

The rules of the OP said it had to be an SEC game. All of these don't qualify.

2007 win over Florida


This was not one of Urban's better teams... they finished with 4 losses. And LSU's win came a week after the Gators had just lost at home to Auburn. So again, if you say so, but it doesn't strike me as very "iconic."

As much as LSU's fans continue to talk about their 9-6 win in Tuscaloosa, it seems strange to try to downplay it. It was #1 vs. #2 and LSU beat Saban in a Game of the Century in Bama's house. That's a big deal. I could maybe see the 2001 win over UT in Atlanta, but I still say its 9-6 as a complete outsider.
