To me 9-6 would be at no.1 but I like defense though 3 and 1 were incredible and are understandably the best for some. It was definitely better than the Flutie and Kick 6 games which were all about the ending.

I've seen all but 7 and 5 but will say good list.

Same, in a different era this would have easily rated number one but we live in an era of recency bias (though they did not go there very much in this instance) and the love of high powered offenses over evenly match defensive juggernauts.

Definitely #1 was a great game.

The Kick 6 game actually one hell of a game capped off by the best ending imaginable. Auburn went up 7-0 early, Bama scored 21 straight, then Auburn scored 2 straight TDs to tie it, they pinned Bama at their own 1-yard-line in the 4th and Bama hit a 99-yard TD pass to Cooper. Bama tried to stretch it to 10 and basically put it out of reach, but Auburn blocked the FG. Then Nick Marshall took Auburn down the field and scored a TD on an incredible throw to tie it with 30+ seconds left. And after all of that, then came the kick 6 ending.
