AU vs LSU series from 2004-2007 was classic.
2004: Jason Campbell led a drive that ended in a last minute TD after being shut down by Saban all game. Extra point was missed, but called back for personal foul since the jumper trying to block it landed on the LS.
2005: John Vaughn missed 5 FGs and LSU won in OT, ruining a 200 yard game by Kenny Irons.
2006: Auburn won a super defensive battle between Bo Pelini and Will Muschamp defenses. A PI flag was picked up by the refs on a crucial 4th down miss by LSU and Auburn stopped LSU on the 5 yard line on the last play of the game to win 7-3.
2007: Auburn nearly shocked the future national champs after jumping out to a big lead in Baton Rouge. Matt Flynn threw a last second (literally) TD to win the game 26-21 after one of the worst clock management jobs in college football history.
The Auburn vs Florida games in '06 and '07 were awesome as well as Tommy Tuberville owned Urban Meyer.

Yeah, I almost for got how much I didn't like Auburn during those stretch of games
All 17-0 jokes aside, the LSU-Arkansas series has had a lot of classic moments
eta: for one specific game, the LSU-Florida 2010 game was wild

The only time I've EVER seen that call made. And naturally it happened to us. What's a riot is that the do-over re-kick XP by Auburn after the penalty was also missed, but called good by the officials..

Wrong on two counts:
(1) It was NOT a "last-second" TD. Byrd caught the pass with 4 seconds left in the left corner of the NEZ. The stadium clock operator mistakenly ran off the clock to 0:00, and later put back 3 seconds, which the officials concurred.
LSU then kicked off to Auburn and Auburn did not even try any razzle dazzle laterals on the return, running out the clock.
(2) That TD pass had nothing at all do with "clock management." Miles was going to have Flynn spike the ball and kick the FG, but Byrd convinced Miles to let Flynn try one pass to the end zone and then kick the FG if it was incomplete.
There were 17 seconds left on the play when LSU broke the huddle, but with LSU coaches frantically calling for Flynn to snap the ball, for whatever reason, Flynn stood behind center and hesitated like 6 seconds before calling for the snap. Thus, when Byrd caught the ball with 4 seconds left, it was closer than it should have been to 0.
BTW, on the sidelines Miles told Flynn to throw the ball over the shoulder to the back of the end zone to avoid an INT, and to leave time for a possible FG.
Flynn only did the first part of that. It was a perfect throw; but he could have avoided the time issue had he snapped the ball sooner instead of waiting so long. That was all on Flynn.
How that was the 'worst clock management' doesn't make any sense at all, since it was FLYNN who snapped and threw the ball so late.
Sour grapes I guess.....
