I keep forgetting to do these. At this rate I'll finish by 2021.
Notice: Once again, this list includes non-conference games played by SEC teams.

#6- "The Prayer at Jordan-Hare"
The #7 Tigers hosted the #25 Bulldogs. Gus Malzahn was in his first year as the head coach of Auburn, and was known for his unorthodox offense. Despite having high expectations for the season, the Bulldogs had picked up 3 losses due to many key injuries.
This game featured an excellent QB matchup. Senior Aaron Murray for Georgia, vs Nick Marshall, who had recently transferred from a junior college after being kicked off the team at Georgia.

Early on, Auburn got off to a quick start, leading 27-7. Nick Marshall and Auburn running back Tre Mason shredded Georgia's defense.
Georgia scored a FG before halftime to make it 27-10. After halftime, the teams traded Touchdowns and Field goals to make it 37-17 with 10:00 left in the game
Georgia came storming back, scoring 3 Touchdowns in 10 minutes. With less than 2 minutes in the game, Aaron Murray scored on a 4th down scramble that was reviewed. Georgia leads 38-37.
After getting sacked by Jordan Jenkins, Auburn faced 4th and 18 from their own 27 yard line with 36 seconds left. Nick Marshall threw up a hail mary that was deflected by UGA defensive backs Josh Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews. The ball fell directly into the outstretched arms of Ricardo Louis, scoring the go ahead TD.
Georgia got the ball back, and got to the Auburn 20, but fell short.

Yeah I kept putting this one off because I didn't want to do it

I'd hate to be this poor guy in this moment.

Murray was still short

Auburn had a really, really good team. It had to be an exciting year for the fans.

That offense was amazing and Marshall executed it to perfection. But Murray was lights out in that game, especially the 4th quarter.

If you’re writing about the top 10 SEC games of the decade, with “what’s at stake” as a qualifier, then this game should be nowhere near the top 10.
Maybe rename it “top 10 UGA games of the decade” and then have UGA fans tell you you’re wrong.

Never seen a stadium go from super depressed to pure jubilation so quickly
He caught the ball and next thing I knew I was 4 rows down from where I originally was.

Greatest game I've ever been at.

People forget about the comeback I think. Auburn and Georgia fans may not, but that comeback was one for the ages. Overshadowed of course, but you need it for the true scope of the game.
I think the “What’s at stake” could be higher. You’re talking about the sec champion and eventual runner up. Another loss would have sunk them.

Um, it kept Auburn alive in the SEC West which they went on to win the next week eventually getting into the BCS title game and coming :13 seconds away from winning it. I'd say there was a pretty fair amount at stake.
Also, without this game the Kick 6 probably doesn't happen and even if it does Alabama would still have beaten Mizzou in the SECCG champ and gone to the natty so one of the most iconic plays in CFB history would have been basically irrelevant.

Completely heartbreaking obviously, but this was an unbelievable game.
If Murray connects on a 20 yard TD as time expires where would the game rank as an all timer? Georgia wasn’t a great team that year but it’d have to be one of the wilder games of all time.

I don't miss those Todd Grantham defenses.

2013 was the worst UGA secondary I’ve ever seen. Possibly the worst of all time.
