Signature victories spawn memories for fans and sometimes nicknames for players (Johnny Football) or deciding plays (Kick Six).

Some wins stand out for dramatic final plays, some for the closeness of the score, some for the upset factor, some for their significance to a title run.

These are the kinds of games that you remember where you were. You remember the emotions, in the stadium and elsewhere, as it unfolded. The team radio calls are archived and replayed for years over highlight videos.

RELATED: SEC East’s best wins

Here are five of the best wins for each team in the SEC West in the last decade:

Alabama

2010 vs. Texas: Alabama’s first national championship since 1992 came in 37-21 fashion as the defense knocked Texas quarterback Colt McCoy out of the game. Mark Ingram, who won the Heisman Trophy, rushed for 116 yards and two TDs. It was Alabama’s eighth title since polls began in the 1930s and its seventh Associated Press championship. The Tide finished undefeated.

2012 vs. LSU: The all-SEC BCS title game helped Alabama avenge an earlier loss with a 21-0 result. A defense led by Courtney Upshaw and Dont’a Hightower made life difficult for Jordan Jefferson. Nick Saban and Co. tied Notre Dame as they secured a No. 1 AP ranking for the eighth time, the most in college football.

2013 vs. Notre Dame: The 42-14 victory was a mismatch from the outset as Alabama won its third national title in four years over previously No. 1-ranked Notre Dame. Alabama scored touchdowns on its first three possessions and led 35-0 in the third quarter.

2015 vs. Michigan State: Another lopsided late-season result. Alabama won 38-0, scoring 28 points in the second half to deliver the largest shutout in Cotton Bowl history.

2016 vs. Clemson: A 45-40 title win was fueled by an onside kick and long touchdowns from Derrick Henry, O.J. Howard and Kenyan Drake. Overcoming Deshaun Watson, the Tide took its fourth title in seven seasons, becoming the second team to do so in the poll era.

2017 possibilities: The Florida State game, which is shaping up to be arguably the biggest season-opener in history by ranking, would only rival a memorable result against LSU and, of course, the Iron Bowl. Then again, a College Football Playoff matchup would also be a likely possibility to add to this list.

Arkansas

2007 vs. LSU: Using the Wild Hog formation, Darren McFadden rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns as Arkansas won 50-48 in triple overtime. McFadden also added a passing touchdown. It appeared to knock the Tigers out of the BCS hunt, but ultimately didn’t.

2010 vs. LSU: A season-ending 31-23 victory was keyed by Bobby Petrino going for it on fourth-and-3 in the fourth quarter. Ryan Mallett connected on a touchdown pass to Joe Adams. It kept alive Arkansas’ chances for the school’s first BCS bowl bid, which resulted in the Sugar Bowl.

2011 vs. South Carolina: In a meeting of top 10 teams, Arkansas won 44-28 as Tyler Wilson, Jarius Wright and Dennis Johnson all contributed. Arkansas led 24-14 at halftime as South Carolina mustered just 49 yards of offense in the first half.

2015 vs. Auburn: A four-overtime result is easily memorable, and for Arkansas, it was a 54-46 victory capped by quarterback Brandon Allen’s touchdown pass to Drew Morgan in the fourth overtime. Bret Bielema won his first game over Gus Malzahn in three tries.

2015 vs. Ole Miss: Brandon Allen passed for nearly 500 yards, but this game is most remembered for the 4th-and-25 conversion that setup the 53-52 overtime win.

2017 possibilities: The TCU game on Sept. 9 has a possibility to be memorable. And the Razorbacks have plenty of road game possibilities, including at South Carolina, Alabama and LSU.

Auburn

2010 vs. Alabama: The Tigers trailed by 24 points, but Cam Newton turned in arguably his best game at Auburn with three TD passes and a rushing TD for a 28-27 win. The bonus was that it came at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

2010 vs. South Carolina: Another masterpiece from Newton, as Auburn clinched a trip to play Oregon for the national title shortly after Newton was cleared by the NCAA. Newton collected six TDs and the Tigers won 56-17.

2010 vs. Oregon: Nick Fairley and the defense collected three turnovers and a goal-line stand, while Newton had two touchdowns in the 22-19 championship win.

2013 vs. Georgia: Ricardo Louis caught a deflected pass that resulted in a 73-yard touchdown on fourth down with 25 second left in a 43-38 victory. The Tigers came back after blowing a 37-17 fourth-quarter lead.

2013 vs. Alabama: Any game that almost instantaneously gets a nickname (The Kick Six) fits in the best win category. The 34-28 result is among the best known Auburn games of all time.

2017 possibilities: Winning at Clemson the second week of the season could really fire up the hype train. If that happens, it’s relatively easy to see how Auburn could be 6-0 going to LSU. That leaves tricky road games at Arkansas and Texas A&M before home games against Alabama and Georgia, which are all candidates for huge wins.

LSU

2007 vs. Tennessee: With Les Miles’ coaching future a hot topic, backup quarterback Ryan Perrilloux led a 21-14 victory and LSU left with the SEC championship and a strong chance of playing for the national title. Jonathan Zenon scored on an interception return to rally the Tigers from a one-point deficit and Darry
Beckwith picked off an Erik Ainge pass in the waning minutes to clinch it. Perrilloux was named MVP.

2007 vs. Ohio State: Matt Flynn passed for a career-high four TDs to knock off the Buckeyes 38-24. The Tigers became the fist two-time winner of the BCS Championship and moved to 4-0 in BCS games.

2011 vs. Alabama: The 9-6 Tigers’ win in overtime will be remembered for made field goal attempts — and the four that Alabama missed. Drew Alleman’s third field goal, a 25-yarder, came after Alabama missed a long field goal attempt to start the overtime.

2011 vs. Georgia: This wasn’t much of a game from the get-go, as LSU cruised to the SEC title and reached 13-0. By early in the 42-10 affair, there was talk of an LSU/Alabama rematch for the national championship.

2015 vs. Texas A&M: The 19-7 win is remembered for the LSU players carrying Les Miles off the field after there was a lot of chatter that he would be bought out by the school’s boosters because of disappointing results against a host of SEC West teams.

2017 possibilities: The main options this year are the now much-discussed homecoming game at Florida in October and then at Alabama on Nov. 4.

Mississippi State

2007 vs. Alabama: The Bulldogs became bowl eligible, for the first time since 2000, coached by former Alabama assistant Sylvester Croom. The 17-12 decision gave Croom’s Bulldogs a second straight victory over the Crimson Tide.

2010 vs. Michigan: Dan Mullen’s second season culminated with a 52-14 defeat of the Wolverines in the Gator Bowl. Vick Ballard rushed for 76 yards and three touchdowns. It was Michigan’s worst bowl loss ever.

2013 vs. Ole Miss: The 17-10 victory meant a fourth straight bowl game. Dak Prescott had an injured shoulder, but his three-yard TD run in overtime — followed by a fumble recovery by the defense — proved to be the difference.

2014 vs. LSU: Prescott, a Louisiana native, helped end a 14-game losing streak in the series, 34-29. The Bulldogs held off an LSU charge in the fourth quarter, when it scored 19 points.

2014 vs. Auburn: This 38-23 win elevated the Bulldogs to a No. 1 ranking, and Prescott joined the Heisman Trophy conversation as he rushed for two touchdowns and passed for one at Davis Wade Stadium.

2017 possibilities: State is trying not to fall behind in the SEC arms race, and probably the biggest game would have to be the Egg Bowl, no matter the circumstances at Ole Miss. But the early three-game stretch of LSU, at Georgia and at Auburn could tell the tale of this season.

Ole Miss

2008 vs. Florida: Known on the other side for Tim Tebow’s speech, the Rebels’ 31-30 victory helped Ole Miss earn their first bowl bid in five years. A blocked extra-point attempt helped Houston Nutt secure a signature win.

2009 vs. LSU: This 25-23 victory helped propel the Rebels to a Cotton Bowl appearance. It also meant a second straight year with a top 10 upset.

2012 vs. Mississippi State: After three consecutive Egg Bowl losses, Ole Miss beat a ranked Bulldogs’ team 41-24 to clinch bowl eligibility.

2015 vs. Alabama: The 43-37 road win over the Crimson Tide was the first time that the Rebels won two in a row in the series.

2015 vs. Oklahoma State: The 48-20 Sugar Bowl result was lopsided early and 34-6 by halftime. It marked the Rebels’ first 10-win season since 2003.

2017 possibilities: Tough to figure the motivation for the Rebels given the cloud of the NCAA. At California early in the season could be a barometer, and most of the SEC games should have a bowl-like feel for the Rebels.

Texas A&M

2012 vs. Alabama: Johnny Manziel and the Aggies put themselves on the SEC map with a 29-24 upset of the No. 1 Crimson Tide. Often scrambling out of the pocket, Manziel passed for 252 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 92 yards.

2012 vs. Oklahoma: It was close until halftime, and then the Aggies rang up a 20-0 third quarter and knocked off the 12th-ranked Sooners 41-13 in the Cotton Bowl. Manziel accounted for a bowl-record 516 total yards to cap the Aggies’ first SEC season.

2013 vs. Duke: In Manziel’s final college game, the Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Aggies rallied from a 38-17 deficit to win 52-48. Manziel passed for 382 yards and four TDs and rushed for 73 yards and one score.

2014 vs. South Carolina: The short-lived Kenny Hill show seemed to pick up where Manziel left off. Hill broke Manziel’s single-game passing record with 511 yards, and the Aggies beat No. 9 South Carolina 52-28, snapping the Gamecocks’ 18-game home win streak.

2016 vs. Tennessee: The Aggies moved to 6-0 as they won 45-38 on the strength of a 10-3 overtime period. Trevor Knight rushed for a 1-yard touchdown in the second overtime, then Armani Watts intercepted Joshua Dobbs for Tennessee’s seventh turnover of the game.

2017 possibilities: Facing Alabama and Florida in consecutive weeks gives the Aggies a chance to end their recent reputation of starting fast and then leaking oil down the stretch.
