Best SEC game over the last 5 years?

Everyone has different idea of what they consider to be "best." Some would say a back and forth game with several lead changes that comes down to the wire, some would say a slugfest ,some would say a big upset, etc.
For me, it was 9-6.
In the second quarter, you could tell that every snap from there on could potentially be a game changer. It was billed as "the game of the century" and it truly lived up to it. 2 offenses that ran roughshod over everyone they faced up to that point ran into brick walls.
You could tell that the entire stadium was on edge, hoping for a break with every snap of the ball, because fans of both school knew that one big play could determine the outcome of the game.
Several others that I thought were great games but didn't have as much on the line as that one, or didn't have the same feel:
UGA v UT- 2013
AU v UA- 2013
AU v aTm- 2013
UF v SCe- 2008
UF v OM- 2008
UA v UF- 2008 SECCg
UA v UGA- 2012 SECCg
UA v LSU- 2012
OM v MSU- 2013
OM v LSU- 2013
LSU v Arky- 2013
LSU v UGA- 2013
OM v Vandy- 2013
All great games, 9-6 is tough to top though with the intensity of every snap.

Agree with all this. From kickoff to OT there was non-stop tension for 4 hours.
Iron Bowl 2010 and 2013 were great as well. The last two Bama-A&M games are classics.
Oh and frick Bama

A&M-Bama 2012, but I'm sure that's a homer answer. Iron Bowl 2010 and 2013 were also really good.

It was a boring game on both sides and had 1 miracle at the end. That doesnt make a great game.
2012 SECCG was the best game Ive ever seen...losing end of it too.

Iron Bowl 2013. Not even a question.

That game was incredible.
Right up there with 9-6, just because it lived up to the hype.
