This is a regular season college football game with no indication that it's notable more than any other game. The references are some standard sports reporting references, nothing to indicate that this game is notable, and nothing in the article to indicate as much either. I am above others!

  • Keep as game received far more than the usual sports coverage due to the so-called "immaculate deflection" and last-minute "miracle" win by Auburn. The volume, depth, and variety of reliable sources covering the game speak to the enhanced notability of this game. - Dravecky (talk) 01:49, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious Keep. The depth and breadth of the sourcing should confirm that this was a significant game in American college football. The significance of the game may be enhanced if Auburn manages to win against Alabama in the Iron Bowl. I think the nominator should rethink and then withdraw this nomination.

  • Keep By my count, there are 100 independent sources in the article alone. That beats WP:GNG to a pulp.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:45, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Heidi Game is here, but it wouldn't be if the game hadn't been shut off by NBC. The Tuck Rule Game is here, but it wouldn't be if the tuck wouldn't have been ruled incomplete. Some games have oddball circumstances that make them notable, and for Auburn, this game was significant, as they would have been out of SEC West contentions with a loss. Plus, nearly 100 sources point to the conclusion that it was a notable game. BenYes? 14:53, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious Keep. I don't think I am above others! watches sports so we'll forgive him or her for this massive blunder. Many analysts have stated that "The Prayer at Jordan-Hare" rivals the "Bluegrass Miracle" as one of the SEC's most exciting games ever, even coach Nick Saban who orchestrated the latter miracle.[1] In fact The Birmingham News states "the Prayer in Jordan-Hare will forever live in Auburn lore.” and will “stand the test of time as not only one of the biggest plays in school history but also one of the most important.” Fox Sports South called it an “epic finish … setting up an Iron Bowl that will have an unprecedented place in the storied rivalry.” I think we can keep this one.

  • Keep tons of sources for this article. buffbills7701 00:58, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Can the nominator withdraw this or an uninvolved adminSNOW it? JodyB talk 11:56, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obvious Keep. Yeah, I am FLOORED this was nominated for deletion. No offense! This game will be up there with the Kentucky-LSU Bluegrass Miracle from 2002 and the 2013 Iron Bowl last night as very notable finishes. Dwscomet (talk) 12:31, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious Keep One of the most bizarre finishes to a game I have ever seen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Severreactor (talk • contribs) 21:05, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (again) To add to my previous comment: at this point in time, the game is very significant due to the fact of Kick Bama Kick, and Auburn wouldn't be in the SEC Championship without this game (Prayer at J–H) occurring. I think we've reached a unanimous consensus on this matter, have we not? BenYes? 03:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
