( CNN ) -- It 's standard fare for a neck-and-neck rivalry game with one second left . Outcome A : Make the field goal and win . Outcome B : Miss it and go into overtime . But there were some factors sweetening the suspense in this one . It was an Iron Bowl , generally an intense matchup , but the winner would claim the SEC West title and stamp a ticket to Atlanta for the conference championship . Then there are the teams , No . 4 Auburn and No . 1 Alabama , which have collectively won the last four national titles , with Alabama owning three of those and mopping the floor with the rebuilding Tigers 49-0 in last year 's contest . If it was n't spicy enough , Auburn 's special teams had been on fire , blocking an earlier field goal and partially blocking a punt . Meanwhile , Alabama kicker Cade Foster had been terrible , missing three field goals , including the blocked one , prompting Alabama Coach Nick Saban to trot out a frosh to attempt the game winner . And , of course , the play turned out to be anything but standard when Auburn 's Chris Davis invoked Outcome C , catching the ball deep in his end zone , and running it back 109 yards -- including a 15-yard sideline-tightrope scamper as he neared midfield -- for the touchdown . Auburn fans went bonkers , as Alabama fans hung their heads , neither believing what they 'd seen . Here are a few of our favorite reactions : . The odd man out . Auburn fans go nuts . Caped crusader goes for swim . House divided . Bar squealer . Making children cry . Brother hates Bama . Exciting stuff , huh ? Well , get a load of this : If Auburn wins the SEC Championship , and Florida State and Ohio State both lose their conference championships , Alabama could get a shot at redemption at the BCS Championship in Pasadena , California . It 's unlikely it could top this weekend 's Iron Bowl , but you never know .
Auburn-Alabama came down to a last-second field goal , usually a hit-or-miss situation . Comment: Teams have won last 4 national championships , could possibly play for this year 's .
