That’s tough. Probably Kick 6. The LSU interception game is up there and the AU-Florida game from ‘93 was pretty epic too.

The first bama game in 2011 and the one in 2019. Two games that were the complete opposite of each other but were each thrillers in their own right.

2006 Rose Bowl National Championship, Texas vs USC.
Mack Brown and Vince Young autographed a 2006 Rose Bowl football for me the day of the game. Was offered $6,000 for the three tickets I had, which cost me nothing.

So many great Auburn games…

FSU @ AU 1990
UF @ AU 1993
AU @ UF 1994
LSU @ AU 2006
UF @ AU 2006
AU @ AL 2010
AL @ AU 2013
AU @ AL 2014
AL @ AU 2019

Those are some of the great Auburn games I can remember attending (most were AU wins but that 2014 Iron was also just a great game despite the loss).

I was also at the 2012 SEC Championship game between Bama and Georgia which was also a great game.

Oddly enough it was probably a loss, the 9-6 game.

I've had the privilege of watching a lot of great football games live over the years though- some that immediately come to mind are

2012 @ LSU
2014 @ LSU
2014 vs Ohio State (loss)
2021 @ Auburn
2024 vs Georgia

All of those games were just instant classics

Yes, and thank you. I was extremely lucky to not only get the three tickets, I also didn’t have to pay a dime for them. Took two friends who were huge USC fans. As for me, a Longhorn fan all the way. They could not believe I would pass up the money, but I felt the game in person and my friendships were greater than $6,000. Some games are just priceless.

2007 LSU and Florida.
Last year LSU and Ole Miss

I don't know which is better because of the time gap.

Of the games I have seen live and in person...

Greatest game that wasn't - Colorado 5th down game in 1990. CU shared the NC that year and this game should have derailed that, but instead pushed Mizzou even further into obscurity in the early 90s. Johnson didn't even get in on 5th down.
LINK

Greatest (most meaningful) that was - 2003 Mizzou over Nebraska - the fourth quarter was a wild, wild ride as Mizzou overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, scoring 27 unanswered points. Very meaningful to those of us who suffered through the Woody Widenhofer and Bob Stull years of the late 80s - early 90s (yes I'm old and was a student from 87-91). This win ended 24 years of futility against NU and finally got Pinkel and Mizzou over the hump against one of the "blue bloods" of the time. (Some say this was the beginning of Nebraska's slide to mediocrity that they still seem to be in over 20 years later.)

1994 Alabama-UGA, in Tuscaloosa. Jay Barker leads a late game comeback and outplays Eric Zeier to lead the Tide to victory!

As an Auburn fan I thought the Tide field goal kicker would win the game. I knew he had made a long goal In high school and I had the nightmare of the Van Tiffin kick I had witnessed years earlier.

Kick six was the greatest game for me.
