Really? You don't consider 1985 a major upset?
Hell fricking no. Bama was the better team in 1985. They were really good. AU was not a good team in 1985. AU was a one man show with Bo Jackson and that was about it.

To further expand, AU finished 8-4 in 1985 and 3-3 in the SEC.
Bama was 9-2-1 and 4-1-1 in the SEC.
Bama finished the season #13, AU finished unranked.
AU played over their head in that IB and that was because of two people, Bo Jackson and Brent Fullwood. Otherwise, Bama would have won that game going away. They were better on offense, defense, and special teams in 1985. AU was better in coaching and had Bo Jackson, which was almost, but not quite enough.

You're right - tired, getting '84 and '85 mixed up. For some reason I was thinking "The Kick" was in a losing season.
Seriously should not have given up coffee this week.
