2010 UT/LSU

Tennessee had 13 men on the field allowing LSU an untimed down where Ridley ran it in for a TD.

Auburn did a great job of stopping the run in that game. I remember thinking how fortunate Bama was to get out of there with a win.

The officiating crew in the aforementioned '99 Bama-LSU game got reprimanded for letting the clock run out after the last play. SEC officials are truly a different breed.

Why? Should they have just cut LSU a break and stopped the clock for them?

The 1994 Auburn/LSU game. Auburn's best and really only offensive weapon was returning a Jsmie Howard interception for a touchdown

No, the Bama player destroyed his knee making the game saving tackle. His fluke injury shouldnt be a free timeout for a team that didnt have one and ran the ball with a a few seconds remaining.

Except by rule, it should. Injury is a TO on the field.

Ever seen a stud RB fumble on the goal line w/o getting touched, and then a missed XP being the difference in a 14-13 game?

Broyles curse is for real. That old man needs to kick the bucket and break this ridiculous streak of bad luck.

I nominate 2011 Vandy/UGA. UGA ended up winning 10 games, Vandy went 6-6.

Another possibility would be 07 UGA/Vandy. We got a late fumble recovery and kick a FG to win by three in Nashville.

We finish #2, Vandy finished unranked.

1998 SEC Championship. MSU vs. Tennessee. MSU had snuck into the SEC Championship winning a tiebreaker over Arkansas in a year that Auburn, Alabama and LSU were all down. LSU won 3 games that year, but beat MSU 41-6.

#1 Tennessee was highly favored and would go on to win the national championship. Miami had beaten #3 UCLA and A&M had beaten #2 Kansas State earlier in the day, but MSU beating Tennessee would have caused utter chaos in the first year of the BCS.

It was a defensive game with Tennessee holding on to a 10-7 lead in the fourth quarter when this happened:

Tennessee would take back the lead, then a Madkin fumble would give Tennessee the cushion they needed.

One of the greatest Saturdays of college football, ever.

Has there ever been a more clutch mediocre QB then Jay Barker? He'd play like hell for three and a half quarters and then magically will Alabama to win somehow.

I wouldn't put the Arky/Bama game from last year in here though. Yes, the Hogs had freaky bad luck that game, and Bama was Bama, but this was around that time when people started to realize that the Hogs were going to win an SEC game finally and it was just a question of who it would be.

2009 #1 UF @ unranked MSU

We won 29-19 but it was tied in the 3rd qtr and we were only up by 3 in the 4th qtr. Tebow threw 2 pick 6's to Banks.
