Rivalry weekend in college football is full of fun and games, and few beat Alabama vs. Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
Unsurprisingly, the Tide have been the latest winners, on a three-game win streak. Once again, they’re poised to beat Auburn, led by Hugh Freeze for the first time. If this hate-filled matchup has taught us anything though, don’t count out the underdog.
Alabama secured its place in the SEC Championship Game against Georgia but is now fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff. With a consistent Jalen Milroe behind the ball, a loss to Auburn seems unlikely. But the Tigers have shown us the power of Jordan-Hare Stadium, just missing out on a defeat of Georgia. They enter the Iron Bowl coming off a stunning loss to New Mexico State, which seems to have the upper hand against Freeze.
Going into Tiger territory with vengeance on their mind is not something to take lightly, even if you are Nick Saban. Besides bowl placement, Auburn has nothing more to lose this year.

2:40 p.m. β Playing in your home stadium is one of the biggest advantages in the Iron Bowl. And while Alabama enters as the heavy favorites, it seems it’ll be a tough hill to climb in Jordan-Hare.
Auburn is the most βin sickness and in healthβ embodiment in college football.
6-5. On the heels of a loss to NMSU. And traffic is insane, campus is packed, the student section is full with 2 hours to kickoff.
War Eagle.
