Any of them not coached by Dubose or Shula

72
The kick six is still burned in my brain though. My friend got married that day and remember little of the wedding and less of the reception.
Ivars went fricking nuts when Davis ran that ball back though. Spilled a double charter and coke. And by spilled I mean I threw it in the air.

Either PBP or Cam, because of the low odds of winning those games at those points (before the 1st Bama punt and during the Ingram run where he fumbled through the endzone).
The Kick Six was insane but by the time it happened Auburn was already the most likely winner of the game. If the Kick Six doesn't happen we go to OT, and Auburn had the clear advantage there. Auburn had less of a chance to win that game when Alabama had the ball inside their 20 with a chance to take a 2 score lead with less than 5 minutes to play. That was where Auburn won the game (and Alabama lost it).

1972 by a decent margin over the other two
2013 I know everyone thought Alabama was going to win before the game, but the two teams seemed pretty evenly matched and Auburn had all of the momentum at home even if the game did go to OT, so it’s fair to say they easily could have won without the Kick Six.
2010 seemed gloomy but with Cam running the offense you just never felt like they were totally out of it.

Yep - by the time we got to the Kick Six Auburn was the clear favorite to win that game. Doesn't mean they definitely would have, but the way we'd sputtered inside the red zone both in terms of scoring and the kicking over the previous 10 minutes........the odds were low.

I say 2019. That improper call that allowed Auburn time to kick a field goal, and the 12 men on the field call at the end that gave Auburn a first down, not to mention the bizarre turnovers.
This last game hurt more than the Camback, or the kick Six. Bama had about double the yardage of Auburn that day. Still lost. And I was there for the Camback. Yes, Mark Ingram fumbled the ball into the endzone for the touchback. But it still felt like Auburn just beat Bama that day.

2019 is not even in the same ballpark as those two games for me

The "Amazings" for the win. We couldn't have scored an offensive touchdown against that bammer D if we had 6 more quarters to do it.

Alabama had so many chances to put the 2013 game away at the end it’s not even funny. Auburn’s defense bent as much as they could without breaking (even had Jake Holland make a play on a stop) and Alabama special teams that night, well we all know the story there. All in all that 4th quarter was pretty insane and is overshadowed by the final play

Yep - I mean we had the ball deep in Auburn territory two times in the last 10 minutes with a chance to take a 2 possession lead, and that is after the 99 yard TD pass.
Just an incredible football game. The 4th quarter, like you said, was one of those where you don't even remember half the huge plays.

Old School 17-16... 3 Blocked Kicks to win the game (Blocked a Bama Extra Point and 2 blocked Punts for TDs). Bama led 16-0 with 10 to go in the 4th Quarter. Bama favored by 16. Auburn had around 150 yards offense and scored 3 points on offense to make it 16-3.

Well, considering Auburn was national title-level good in 2010 and 2013 (National Championship and National Championship runner-up, respectively), the obvious answer is 1972. Still 10-1, but getting obliterated by LSU meant that Auburn was still outside the top 5.
Even so, none were "bad" or even "mediocre" Auburn teams. All 3 games were winnable before the kick off for Auburn.

Auburn got obliterated by LSU in 2013 as well, just saying.

I didn't know about the 1972 game, but from your description, it has to be that one. Bama up 3 scores and undoubtedly Auburn's offense hadn't threatened at all for the first 50 minutes.
