1998 sec championship game football

Far and away the most recent game to crack this list, the game between eventual national champion and Alabama and underdog Georgia served as one of the great games in SEC championship history. Alabama led at halftime, but the Dawgs came back and scored back to back touchdowns to open the second half and seize a lead. Alabama cut the lead to by the end of the quarter, setting up a thrilling fourth quarter in Atlanta. Alabama promptly regained the lead on a touchdown run by Eddie Lacy, but Georgia answered on the very next drive with a touchdown run by then-freshman Todd Gurley.

UGA led for the next nine-plus minutes of action, and it appeared the Dawgs defense might be able to hold on to the three-point edge until time ran out.

McCarron found Amari Cooper on a yard touchdown strike with three minutes remaining, putting the Tide ahead The momentum heavily favored Alabama, and at that point it appeared as though Georgia was out of luck late in the game.

Once again, however, fans were punished for making assumptions, and Georgia immediately began driving the length of the field with its sights set on a game-winning touchdown. The Bulldogs moved the ball into the red zone with less than a minute remaining when quarterback Aaron Murray found wideout Chris Conley at the 5 yard line, where he was tackled in bounds with no timeouts remaining. Time ran out before Georgia could run another play, and the Bulldogs came five yards shy of a conference championship.
