'84 then '01.
Auburn isn't relevant enough on a consistent basis to have more.

'84 Van Tiffin kick
Tiffin was 1985, but 1984 is the right answer.
Alabama was 4-6. Auburn came in ranked #11.
Bo went the wrong way and Auburn went to Memphis in December instead of somehwere warm.

Alabama was 6-5 in 04 and Auburn was undefeated. Alabama actually led at halftime even though they had Spencer Pennington at QB.
Alabama was 4-7 in 03 and Auburn was a top 20 team. Cadillac had a long touchdown run on th opening play but Alabama only lost by 5.
Spin it however you’d like but Auburn only has one double digit win in the last 20 years against Alabama. That’s surprising to me when you consider Shula, Dubose and sanctions all fall in that span.
By comparison, siix of Alabama’s last seven wins in the series have been by 10+.

The answer is 1984.
Pat Dye called it the worst coaching job of his career at any school.
Robert "4 eyes" Miginty missed 3 field goals, three short one, then AU went for it on 4th down inside the 1 yard line on the infamous wrong way Bo call. Bo was supposed to lead block for Fullwood and he didn't allowing the Bama player to "wax that dude". Bo over the top = AU win, Bo lead blocking = AU win, Fullwood exposed = Fullwood waxed.
Then after that, AU stuffed Bama 3 and out, quickly got into position for another fg to win on the final play and Ginty missed AGAIN.
AU was 2 or 3 tds better than bama in 1984 and found a way to lose.
2001 is number 2, but that was a badly overrated AU team and that game was a toss-up. Bama won big, but it was not near the upset as far as who won as the 1984 game.
Ironically, Ginty transferred out of AU after the 1984 iron bowl. AU released him outright. He went to UF.
The next year at UF, Ginty kicked a GD 50+ yard field goal on the last play of the game to beat AU. frick that dude.

1984 or 2001.
Had it not been for poor old Ed Scissum 1997 would have been.

Pat Dye shamelessly blamed that poor guy single handedly for the loss.(much the same way Lynn Amedee blamed Jaime Howard for the 1994 interception game)
Actually McGinty's kick in 1986 came before Florida's last touchdown.
McGinty needs a letter from LSU. His miss in 1984 put LSU in the Sugar, his made kick vs Auburn put LSU in the Sugar and in 1987 he missed a 35 yd er with :10 that would have tied LSU.

It just shows a difference in approach at different programs.
LSU is happy losing by only 14. Alabama hasnt lost by 14 or more to LSU since 2003. Alabama hasn’t lost to Auburn by 14 or more since 1969.
Alabama has five wins against three different Auburn coaches by 16+ in the last ten years. Even in 2010 and 2013, Auburn trailed by two douchdowns in the second half.
It makes it harder to find upsets.

84 - Wrong Way Bo
85 - The Kick
1990 - Stallings getting the win in his first year after an 0-3 start.
2001 - Fran blowing out AU 31-7 in JHS

Great wins for Alabama,but were those really upsets?

This is the response of a teenager who can’t dispute facts so they resort to weak insults. Do better.
LSU’s biggest win over Saban at Bama is seven points in 2007. Since then Saban has four wins over LSU by two or more touchdowns.
It’s a football forum. Stats and scores trump insults.

If only most of our offensive starters weren't injured. Felt like we spent most of the 1st half in the red zone.

Sure, and a lot of those Auburn wins came under Tuberville who was notorious for sitting on leads in the second half. 02-06 I can't think of a single game against AU that I felt confident in the 2nd half we were going to win. But I guess keeping it under a 10 point differential is something to be proud of to some Bama fans.

You don't get why a fan base would take pride in their team never being effectively out of a game? It shows a level of fight and determination. Shows that the team doesn't lay down and quit. There have been ample opportunities for a team to mail it in - either the season or just a single game when things aren't going their way - but Bama hasn't really done that in as long as I can remember. Maybe back in '98 against Arkansas being the last time.

The biggest upset that almost happened was 2009. 
I am very reserved till the game is over but I honestly believed Auburn would finish that game off. Just ran out of steam

That one had me worried until the end. You could tell Saban had adjusted on D, but you were wondering if the O would ever spark. Then that final drive it's like AU forgot we had Julio Jones playing WR and let him catch 3 or 4 balls.
