Games were apparently ranked on a combination of factors, both in terms of how "good" the game was, but also how important/memorable it was for shaping the season.

SEC games:

21. Texas A&M 35, Arkansas 28 (OT)
19. Alabama 20, LSU 13 (OT)
17. LSU 10, Ole Miss 7
15. Texas A&M 41, Auburn 38
13. Alabama 55, Auburn 44
9. Ole Miss 23, Alabama 17
5. Georgia Tech 30, Georgia 24 (OT)
4. Ohio State 42, Alabama 35
2. Auburn 35, Ole Miss 31

As horrible as the ending was, this was an incredible game.

As far as a damn fine game that nevertheless had little national relevancy, I'm surprised Tennessee/Scar didn't make it.

Who doesn't like thrilling improbable comebacks?

Glad to know I'm not the only one that watches House.

Regarding the games, I'm surprised the SCar-Georgia game wasn't mentioned. Gurley taking swings but we got the personal foul, the first down that was controversial, Bobo calling in a pass play instead of handing off to Gurley for a td that would have won the game for Georgia...just to name a few reasons.

Let’s not forget about the questionable first down to ice the game

That was a great game, I was disappointed it didn't make it. Dobbs vs. P Cooper was one heck of a battle.

When will an Alabama win be ranked higher than when Alabama beats themselves?
