SEC regular season games that have Wikipedia article written about them

Wiki has an article on almost every bowl game and CCG game, but I'm talking about regular season games here.
So far, I've found articles for
Auburn's 2013 games against both Alabama and Georgia
The 2011 regular season game between LSU and Alabama
The 2019 game between LSU and Alabama
The 1959 regular season game between LSU and Ole Miss
The 2002 game between LSU and Kentucky
The 1972 game between Auburn and Alabama
One I just realized I missed, the 2018 game between LSU and TAMU
Now that somebody else has mentioned it, there also is an article on the 2001 Arkansas v Ole Miss game.
If you include games between schools not in the SEC at the time, there's an article on the 1969 Texas vs Arkansas game.
For Wiki articles on regular season games between an SEC school and a non-SEC school, there's an article on the 1994 regular season FSU vs UF game.
Now that another poster has mentioned it, there also is a Wiki article on the 2024 UGA vs Ga Tech game.
Somewhat surprisingly, there does not seem to be an article on the 1996 regular season UF vs FSU game.

So Auburn has 3 of the 7? That's a strong ratio.

Found one for UGA , but against GA Tech (2024 game)
I’m more than a little surprised that the 1996 UGA vs Auburn game does not have its own article as it was the 1st OT game…
ETA — also surprised that the 1980 Georgia vs Florida game does not have one

The first CFB overtime game was the December 14, 1995 Las Vegas Bowl where Toledo beat Nevada 40-37. Overtime was in place for the 1995-96 bowl season and then for the 1996 regular season. It turned out that one of the first if not the first games that could go into OT did go into OT.
The first regular season game to go into OT was a game on August 31, 1996 where Oklahoma State apparently needed OT to beat D-1AA Southwest Missouri State 23-20.
1996 UGA vs Auburn might have been the first SEC game to go into OT, but that's not really Wikipedia worthy.
I also was a little surprised that 1980 UGA vs UF didn't have an article about it. But there's a pretty clear bias here towards articles being written about games that occurred after Wikipedia existed and even moreso after Wikipedia became popular.

They hit Wuerffel "to the echo of the whistle" as Bowden said. Later, in the rematch, Spurrier made sure the refs in the Sugar Bowl knew it too.

Listened to that on a static filled car radio that would fade in and out. Did hear the punt return and the roar of the crowd.

Always interesting to have an old timer on here.
So, for the risk of being rude, how old are you? You must be awfully old, if even way back in 2009 you were old enough that you made your username OlGrandad.

This game was Wiki worthy. In addition to having a lot of wild plays and a big comeback, it was also the first "crazy" OT game in CFB and seemed to polarize fans as to whether the new system was awesome or terrible for the sport.
