After winning multiple national championships only to be fricked over by the media and set up by the NCAA to stop us from claiming them, Auburn beats Oregon to win another Championship despite the best efforts of bama, the media and the Ncaa to prevent it.

It was right after Katrina. Players had family who lost everything and were scattered all over the place. Had every reason to give up on that game and blame it on off field distractions. Instead, they won in a big way and went on a tear that year playing 13 straight games losing only 1 regular season game and the SECCG before blowing out Miami in the bowl gam

1997 Florida - finally beat Spurrier
2000 Tennessee - finally beat Fulmer (Georgia fans rushed the field for the only time in like the last 80 years)
2002 Auburn – finally won the SEC East
2002 Arkansas – finally won the SEC title during the division era
2021-22 Alabama – 1980 retired and Georgia fans become impervious to 1980 jokes

UGA 2003 is when LSU started playing big league football.

2000 Bama game. First LSU win in Baton Rouge since 1969 and the beginning of a run where we won 7 of 8.
It was a little weird for me because I was actually raised as a Bama fan and cheered for Bama for all of the 70s games and most of the 80s before walking on at LSU in the late 80s. After I became an LSU fan/player, the rivalry got huge in my family. I'm sure my dad loved me, but I don't think he ever forgave me for going to LSU.

Even though we won in overtime in the Rose Bowl, then lost in overtime in the NC, something about the season was really really satisfying despite coming up short, and gave me an energy of "this is a different Georgia. Firing Richt and hiring Kirby was the correct decision". Georgia hadn't won the SEC since 2005, and finally did. It was the dawn of a new era.

Mizzou beating OSU in the Cotton Bowl this past bowl game.

That's an...odd choice.

USC beat Tennessee
My answer is knocking UT out of the playoffs a couple of years ago. When they beat us in 2013 they knocked us out of the SECCG and a possible BCS bowl game. That one had been gnawing at me for years until the 2022 game.

I wonder if the committee still would've kept an 11-1 UTjr out because of Hooker's injury.

I’ve always said the 2 biggest wins in sabans time were two national title games. Texas and notre dame. We had been shite against those 2 on the big stage. It wasn’t like they were beating some crap Bama teams either. They were beating some of the best teams in Bamas history. To get those 2 monkeys gone and do it in dominant fashion was special.

For it to really be a "monkey off the back" win, I think the players and student body have to be able to relish in the significance of it to some degree. Not just the old timers. No one on Alabama's campus in 2009 and 2012 was even born when Alabama lost big games to ND and Texas. Hell, I was in my early 30s in 2009-2012 and wasn't born/don't remember them. Obviously the students and players were happy to win a natty, but they didn't give a frick about beating ND and Texas because they were ND and Texas.
I personally would say 2008 Auburn and 2009 Florida. All but the freshmen in 2008 felt the losses during Auburn's streak (and a lot of in-state students even before they went to college), and Tim Tebow and Co. were the measuring stick in CFB at the time of the 2009 SECCG - and Bama had lost to them the year before.
