2007 went to OT

2012 SECCG

2017 had 2nd and 26

2018 was the Hurts comeback

2021 had two games and included another national championship game

2023 was close and Bama denied Georgia a CFP berth

2024 came down to the wire after Bama jumped on top 100-0

Which did you guys enjoy the most?

2017 had to be most epic. What gets lost in Tua being inserted and the 2nd and 26 was an incredible display of depth and resolve by Bama.

They utilized their true freshman tailback Najee Harris to not abandon the run despite being down multiple scores late in the 2nd half. And had a freshman LT Alex Leatherwood inserted after an injury. Not to mention future Heisman trophy winner true freshman Devonta Smith caught the game winning pass as the 2nd string X receiver.

What’s even more ironic is Bama fans years after losing in 2021 still tell you they would’ve won the 2021 national title with a healthy roster but don’t grasp the concept that they won multiple titles bc their depth was more elite than it had been that season lol

Been said before but 2012 SECCG was the defacto NC game. Was right before everybody started getting slimmer and faster. Was when it was still intimidating to have that belly hanging out your jersey.

They can say that, but then they have to admit that Georgia probably wins in 2023 if they were healthier

I mean frick, Texas fans have been sad for 15 years about not being healthy in the national championship against Bama

In 2012, Alabama had the super tough run defense and somehow Todd Gurley and that UGA offensive line managed to pound out 100 tough, hard-earned yards against them

One of the most competitive and hardest fought games I’ve seen at any level

2012 for me.

That was a competitive game from start to finish. While the 2018 CFP NCG had the famous 2nd & 26 play, that game was a tale of two halves.

The best as in most competitive? 2012.
Best as in most satisfying? 33-18.

The only answer is true freshman Tua throwing a bomb to win the national title to true freshman Devonta smith

The other ones are forgettable, that one was legendary

2012 is by far the best sec championship football game in its 33 year history. It's not even particularly close.
