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.

I graduated high school that year. Was my first year in college when "The Kick" went through. Was drinking heavily after.
