Sets a different bar for the team, you know?This Auburn win was better for all of those reasons listed.
Plus, how refreshing was it that instead of kneeling and crying because we won, our coach goes into the post game presser and starts talking about how it is unacceptable to give up a touchdown in the last minute of a game...we haven't seen that from a coach on the Hill in a long, long time !!!
The jury is still out IMO. A signature win to me is a win that vaults a team to the next level. The 2013 win over SC didn't really do that IMO and I believe we lost the next 5, including Vandy and Kentucky.

I'm not sure. South Carolina was a great team that year at a non-powerhouse program. Auburn is a mediocre team at a great program. That South Carolina team was better than this Auburn team; I think that's pretty clear.For me, it’s Pruitt/Auburn. I look at SC like I do Ky. Caught lightning in a bottle a few times but has never been a powerhouse football program. Auburn had SEC Championship/Playoffs/NC aspirations. Plus, it was at their place. What say you VolNation?

Remember, that win over South Carolina ruined their season. They had already lost to Georgia in week 2, but by the time they played Tennessee, Georgia had a conference loss and lost to Missouri on that same day, giving them 2 conference losses. South Carolina would have been back in the driver's seat in the East if they won. Then South Carolina beat #5 Missouri the very next week to give them their only conference loss, but they finished behind them because they had 2 conference losses. That was an extremely disappointing, kick-in-the-nuts loss for them; they ultimately would have played in the SECCG for the 2nd time in 4 years if they won.
That was a really good South Carolina team, even if their success was fleeting. They finished 4th in the country.
