The Iron Bowl is the biggest college football game of the year and the winner has gone on to play in – and win – the SEC Championship the last four years and in six of the last seven years.
No matter the records going into this game it will be a good battle. The last three matchups have been decided by 16 points or less.
The Crimson Tide has won two in a row, and since Auburn won six in a row from 2002-2007, Alabama has won six of the past eight.
After upsetting Alabama in his first year as head coach, Gus Malzahn has dropped the past two, but managed to be competitive in both despite being large underdogs.
