This is not the first time a kickoff has been returned for a TD with numerous laterals. There are far less short field goals that have been returned for a game winning TD. Go look on Youtube and you will find compilations of gaming winning kick off return TDs with and without laterals (excluding band member interference). I cannot name any play that comes to mind where a field goal was returned outside of the Kick Six.
"Greatest college football play ever" can have varying definitions, but I'm choosing to use the definition that accounts for the overall impact that resulted because of the play.

Pretty sure LSU did it earlier that season.

Your own team that same season?

I don't know how you choose between these two. Both unforgettable moments in their own right. One big difference was that everyone in the nation got to watch the Kick Six live as it happened. The only thing that "The Play" has on Kick Six is that it allowed Cal to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat (of course, with Kick Six, Bama was a few feet from winning the game, so this is pretty close, too).
