Number three: The Camback

In 2010 the undefeated number two-ranked Auburn Tigers came to Tuscaloosa to play Alabama which had two losses, but the Crimson Tide had won the national championship the year before. Alabama played like they had nothing to lose in front of the Bryant-Denny stadium crowd. The Crimson Tide built a 24-0 halftime lead, but Auburn quarterback Cam Newton led the Tigers to a 28-27 win in the second half. The Heisman Trophy winner not just led Auburn to an Iron Bowl victory, but also a national championship win over the Oregon Ducks.
